An art form handed down from the early Greeks and Romans, the cameo regained popularity in the fifteenth and sixteenth century revivals of Europe. Queen Victoria’s love of cameos combined with the burgeoning middle class of the Industrial revolution brought cameos of all kinds to Victorian England.

These wonderful cameo earrings feature classical profiles, one a man and one a woman, the two facing each other. It's most likely that these two are Zeus and Hera, the original 'power couple'. The beautifully detailed carvings are done in shell and set in 9 karat gold twisted wire frames. They would originally have had wires at the top but these have been replaced with post style tops. The earrings measure 27.1 x 17.8 x 9.1 mm and while unmarked they have been acid tested for gold purity. Together these earrings weigh 6.8 grams.

I come across a lot of earrings while shopping in France that have the unique French style back to front closure. Normally I pass on them as some folks find them a bit confusing, but I simply couldn't resist these wonderful, French Neoclassical gold beauties, after all a good gold earring is hard to find.

These early earrings are completely hand crafted of 18 karat gold. They are a very wearable size and measure 27 mm from top to bottom and 17.4 mm across. They are hallmarked with a single struck eagles head mark and a makers mark, indicating that they were made in France, circa 1780, of 18 karat gold. Together they weigh 4.6 grams.

Back to front earrings work just as they sound, the earring goes through the ear from behind and clips in the front. They are extremely comfortable to wear, but it can take a little time getting used to putting them on. The key is to wiggle the earring instead of trying to just push it through. Don't be surprised if you get hooked on this style of closure once you get used to it!

Sometimes you just have to take a piece of jewelry off of someones person. We jewelers all know this. Back in my wholesaling days, I almost never wore my own jewelry into an appointment because I knew I’d be stripped of a ring or a necklace or earrings before I made it out the door. These earrings are a good case in point, they looked so wonderful dangling from the ears of my vendor friend that I just had to ask, and she popped them right off and into my hand!

Wonderful, original earrings are not always the easiest thing to find, they were often separated over the years, so I was thrilled to find these beauties.

Just like people, these wonderful garnet earrings were made to be seen by candlelight. Can't you just see it, glittering deep red to match your cabernet as you sit with friends, eating and drinking in the soft glow. Did you know that Garnets are often called Bohemian because they were mined in Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic. I think they should be called Bohemian because they are dark and earthy and mysterious, just what you need to play the modern day Gypsy.

Inspired by the discoveries and excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum, Victorian jewelers produced lightly crafted jewels featuring granulation and fine wire work in the way that only the most skilled jewelers could do. These wonderful 15 karat gold and Rhodolite Garnet earrings have an appealing shape and wonderful movement on the ear.

These kind of hollow jewels showcase the great skill and ability of the jewelers at this time to utilize very little gold to great effect, but due to their hollow nature they are very venerable to damage and so are quite rare and hard to find, especially as earrings. Made in England around 1860.

This four-piece set is a fun find! A complete parure by the the famed designer Zoltan White, whose work is highly sought after. There’s no need to wear all of these fabulous pieces at once, try a brooch with a bracelet for a casual ensemble, or the earrings with the necklace for a little date night fun.

His work has a clear Austro-Hungarian feel, given his background and childhood experiences, although he was part of the British Arts and Crafts tradition.

She heard his motorcycle stop around the corner of the café from where she sat. She could tell something interesting was happening when all the women on the terrace stood up straighter and the men widened their stances. She continued sipping her coffee and reading the paper. The scent of cedar and sugar lingered as he passed by her. Her eyes moved from her paper and into his ocean blue eyes, just for a glimpse. They were bordered by dark brows and handsome features. She didn’t smile, straighten or stare, she just observed. He paused and said, “Nice earrings,” before continuing on his way through to wherever he was going.

They were her sister’s earrings until she borrowed them for a wedding last summer. She conveniently forgot to give them back over the holidays; and she just happened to forget her own earrings for the New Year’s Eve party. Thank goodness her sister said she could borrow them for one more night, which might accidentally have turned into another two months. She secretly hopes her sister forgets all about them. She’d like to wear them all the time. She likes the way they glitter, how they go with all her favorite things.

These antique Georgian flat cut diamond earrings were handcrafted in England around 1830. There are 24 rose cut diamonds decorating these leaf-shaped drop earrings. They have been acid tested, the hooks are 18 karat gold while the backs are 15 karat gold. They bear no marks. Each earring measures 33 x 15.3 mm and together they weigh 5.4 grams.

Please note that while the majority of these earrings are Georgian, they may not have started life out as earrings. It seems to me that at some point they may have been made from an old Georgian piece of jewelry, so the connection points and ear wires are probably not original while the diamond parts are. It seems that this was done some time ago and the resultant earrings are extremely lovely. It may also be that they were always earrings but were re-wired at some point as the wires often did get bent and broken.

Morning, noon, and night, a pair of earrings like these need to see all hours of the day. And you have just the ears to do it!
