Vintage Sterling Silver & Gold Cameo Pin & Earrings Set – Terpsichore Dance Muse
This exquisite vintage cameo pin and earring set is a stunning testament to handcrafted artistry. Crafted from sterling silver with an elegant gold trim, the centerpiece is a beautifully carved shell cameo depicting Terpsichore, the Greek muse of dance, with her lyre. Measuring approximately 2 1/8″ x 1 5/8″, the pin weighs approximately 18.6 grams and features a bale, allowing it to be worn as both a pin and a pendant. The cameo itself is incredibly detailed, showcasing Terpsichore’s draped bodice, flowing curls, and feathery up-swept hair, measuring approximately 7.5mm in thickness. The artist’s signature is delicately etched on the back, adding a touch of personal history. The set is completed by a pair of pierced earrings, also marked ‘800, (Star symbol) 634 NA’ and weighing a combined 1.8 grams. These earrings, like the pin, are framed in silver with twisted gold trim and feature smaller carved shell cameos measuring 1/2″ x 3/8″. The set is presented in its original burgundy boxes, a testament to its careful preservation. Both the pin and earrings are in excellent condition and ready to be cherished for years to come.
