Vintage Black Nubian Cameo Brooch and Cufflink Set

A striking three-piece vintage jewelry set featuring a large oval brooch and a matching pair of circular cufflinks. Each piece showcases a high-relief black basalt-style composite cameo against a creamy ivory-colored resin or plastic background. The cameos depict a profile of a woman of African descent, or Nubian queen style, featuring an intricate braided hairstyle and a decorative spiral accent at the base of the neck. The medallions are set within yellow gold-toned metal mounting borders decorated with a continuous beaded milgrain or 'granulation' motif. The brooch is approximately 2 inches in length, while the cufflinks are smaller, roughly 0.75 inches in diameter. The metal appears to be a plated base metal, showing typical surface micro-scratching and minor tarnish in the recessed areas of the beading. The cufflink mechanisms are swivel-back (T-bar) style. Based on the materials and construction, this set likely dates from the 1960s or 1970s, reflecting a period of interest in Afrocentric aesthetic markers. The craftsmanship is consistent with high-quality costume jewelry, with the cameo reliefs remaining sharp and well-defined without significant chipping or loss of detail.
