Vintage Gold-Tone Cameo Stud Earrings

This pair of vintage stud earrings features a classic cameo design, characterized by a white-colored relief profile of a woman set against a dark, possibly chocolate brown or black, background. Each earring is oval-shaped and encased in a polished gold-tone metal bezel. The cameo carvings depict a traditional 'Left Facing' female bust with detailed hair styling, suggestive of a mid-20th-century aesthetic. The construction appears to be a composite or molded plastic (hard resin) rather than carved shell, or possibly glass if it's a 'Habillé' style, though the soft edges suggest a molded material. The metal frames exhibit a smooth, lustrous finish with minimal surface scratches, indicating they have been well-maintained. The earrings are secured with butterfly friction backs, one of which is visible in the frame. The overall condition is good, with some slight patina consistent with age to the metal backings, but no visible chips to the cameo faces. These earrings appear to be costume jewelry from the 1960s or 1970s, designed to mimic Victorian-era aesthetics. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced but high-quality vintage fashion accessories.
