An Exquisite Pair of Mid-Century Carved Conch Shell Cameo Earrings, Circa 1950s.

These enchanting vintage earrings radiate timeless elegance, meticulously handcrafted during the mid-20th century and set in luxurious 14ct yellow gold.

Each piece features an exquisitely carved conch shell cameo, capturing the delicate likeness of a blooming rose in full relief—its soft petals unfurling with natural grace, perched atop a slender stem flanked by finely etched leaves.

The cameos are hand-carved from genuine peach-toned conch shell, a favored material for cameo artisans due to its warm hues and soft yet durable texture. The creamy white carving stands in gentle contrast to the shell’s natural coral-pink ground, enhancing the sculptural quality of the floral motif.

Each cameo is securely bezel-set in an oval gold frame with a polished finish that elegantly complements the organic luster of the shell. The earrings are fitted with classic screw-back mechanisms—typical of the 1940s to 1950s era—ensuring both comfort and a secure fit without the need for pierced ears.

Floral cameos such as these symbolize beauty, love, and the fleeting nature of time—echoing the Victorian language of flowers, revived with delicate sophistication during the post-war era.
