Vintage 14K Gold-Filled Cameo Earrings – Screw-Back – Mid-20th Century (1940s–1960s)

These vintage cameo earrings capture the timeless elegance of mid-century jewelry design. Each earring features a finely carved shell cameo, presenting the classic female profile in crisp white relief against a warm coral background. The cameos are framed in 14K gold-filled settings with a subtly textured finish that enhances their refined look.

The earrings are fitted with screw-back closures, a style especially popular in the 1940s through the 1960s, offering both security and comfort at a time when pierced earrings were less common. This detail not only dates the pair but also adds to their vintage authenticity.

Gold-filled jewelry of this era was valued for its durability and ability to mirror the beauty of solid gold while remaining accessible. Combined with shell cameos—a jewelry tradition reaching back to ancient Greece and Rome—these earrings represent the enduring appeal of classical motifs adapted for modern wear.

Today, these earrings remain as versatile as ever. They can be worn as an elegant accent to formal attire, displayed as part of a cameo collection, or treasured as an heirloom that connects mid-century craftsmanship to centuries of jewelry tradition.

Their excellent mid-century provenance, screw-back style, and gold-filled frames make them both collectible and wearable, with an appeal that bridges history and fashion.
