AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Type: Long, visually striking drop earrings (statement drop earrings).
Style: Neoclassical, eclectic and Mediterranean. The design unites celestial elements (the sun), artistic elements (the cameo) and marine elements (the coral) in a composition of extraordinary elegance.
Lobe element (Upper): A bold radiating sun in gold-tone metal with a finely worked, finely grooved finish at the center, serving as an elegant anchor point.
Central element: Two large elongated oval cameos, hand-engraved on shell (presumably sardonyx, given the gray-brown background that makes the white relief stand out). The cameos depict two classic-style female profiles, carved in a symmetrical fashion (one facing right and one facing left), designed to frame the wearer’s face symmetrically.
Dangling elements (Lower): Small sprigs/cylinders of natural red coral (probably Mediterranean red coral) arranged in a cascade, adding a lively touch of color and movement to the final part of the jewelry.
Setting: Made in gold-tone metal (presumably gilded silver or artistic bronze). A thin smooth bezel embraces the cameos, harmoniously connecting the upper part of the sun with the coral pendants beneath.
