14 Karat and Carved Tortoise Shell Earrings

These antique Victorian era tortoise shell carvings were at one time a pair of ladies cuff links. The carvings depict cherub's faces with feathery wings behind their sweet profiles. The detail on the wings are especially fine. They each measure 20 mm wide by 23 mm tall by 10 mm deep, and wear like large studs. Some time ago they were converted into earrings and extra large backs were added for support and comfort while wearing.
