Vintage Shell Cameo Pearl Trim Earrings

This item consists of a pair of vintage shell cameo earrings, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1960s). Each earring features an oval-shaped, hand-carved conch shell cameo depicting the profile of a classical woman with an elegant hairstyle. The cameos display a soft cream-to-pink color gradient characteristic of natural shell. The central carvings are bezel-set within an ornate, gold-toned metal frame, possibly gold-filled or high-quality costume plating. The frames are decorated with intricate filigree, scrollwork, and delicate granulation. Each earring is accented with six small white seed pearls, likely faux or cultured, spaced evenly around the perimeter of the frame. One earring appears to be missing a pearl at the bottom-left position. The metal shows a moderate aged patina with some darkening in the recessed areas of the filigree, consistent with its age. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the face, suggesting the signature may be on the reverse screw-back or clip mechanisms. The craftsmanship indicates a refined mid-century costume jewelry aesthetic, common in Victorian-revival styles.
