Vintage-Style Cameo Dangle Earrings with Purple Stone Accents

This is a pair of vintage-style dangle earrings featuring cameo motifs. Each earring consists of an oval-shaped black background upon which a creamy-yellow, three-dimensional silhouette of a woman's profile is mounted. The cameos depict classical female busts with elaborate hairstyles, characteristic of traditional cameo designs. The central cameo element is set within an ornate, antique brass-toned metal frame that appears to be cast or stamped, featuring delicate detailing around its border. Below the main cameo, there is an additional decorative element that includes a small, oval-shaped cabochon stone in a deep purple or reddish-purple hue, possibly a garnet or amethyst imitation given its translucence and striations visible within. Surrounding this lower stone and integrated into the overall metalwork are small, clear, faceted stones, likely rhinestones, adding a touch of sparkle. The metal components exhibit an aged patina, consistent with antique or vintage brass, which enhances the aesthetic of the earrings. The construction suggests a secure setting for all components. The ear wires are of the lever-back type, common for secure wear. There are no readily visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided images. The overall aesthetic points to a Victorian Revival, Edwardian, or Art Nouveau inspired design, likely from the mid to late 20th century, seeking to emulate earlier styles. The condition appears good, with the metal showing age-appropriate wear and patina, and the stones intact. The details on the cameos themselves are crisp, indicating good quality molding.
