Vintage Cameo Earrings

Vintage Cameo Earrings

A pale profile rises from a soft pink-beige ground in this pair of cameo earrings from Austria. Worn at the ear, they carry the quiet presence of a small framed portrait — classic, composed, unhurried.

Cameo is a traditional technique of carving in relief, using the natural contrast between layers of material. Here, the milky white motif against a gentle coral-toned ground gives one of the softest expressions the craft can offer, finished with a slim gold-tone rim that holds everything together with restraint.

In the light, the ground takes on a faint translucence, and the shadows of the carving rise softly to the surface. The oval face is modest in scale, settling against the skin and lending a subtle grace to the profile.

The clip-on fittings make them wearable without pierced ears. They suit a day with the hair swept up, or a simple collar left plain — a classical motif that slips easily into everyday dress.

These earrings carry the sensibility of Vienna's long tradition of ornament. Each time you take them in hand, we hope you feel their quiet dignity.

Flourish — Souvenir

Flourish is a collection of floral motifs that have been loved across generations. Delicate, but never fragile — flowers that bloomed decades ago, still beautiful today. That is what this collection has always been about.

This time, a special edition: flowers brought home from a journey.

The first city is Rome. In its workshops, micromosaic takes shape through a technique called millefiori — Italian for "a thousand flowers" — where tiny fragments of glass become blossoms, one by one. Travellers on the Grand Tour once carried these pieces home as memories they could wear. The very first souvenir jewellery.

The second city is Vienna. Here the flowers bloom indoors — in enamel, across a bangle, and in a cameo with the quiet poise of a Viennese salon. Less sunlight, more stillness; the kind of elegance that belongs to a beautiful room.

The light of Italy, and the quiet of Vienna. A small itinerary through two cities, gathering flowers that outlast their time. The Souvenir Edition is a one-time arrangement.

A memory of travel, kept close at hand — chosen in that spirit, we hope these pieces find their way to the right homes.
