Art Deco Graphic Cameo Earrings with Ruby Record Keepers and Raw Imperial Topaz Crystals

Hundred-year-old artisan-carved graphic cameos in black and white onyx are set in a hand-carved Sterling silver basket setting with 14K yellow gold prongs. Sweet hexagonal ruby record keepers are in 14K wire settings, and the imperial topaz are wrapped with bimetal of fine silver and 22K yellow gold, augmented with a strip or two of Sterling silver and 14K yellow gold. 14K yellow gold ear wires, 2 1/2” total length.

I don’t say it often, so you know it means something: I adore these goddamned earrings. They remind me that art is a real thing that happens to all of us, whether we’re ready for it or not.
