Cameos of yore were made of stone or shell, carved with portraits of public figures and luminaries of the time. In this spirit, we have brought you these vintage carved hematite cameo earrings, which are affixed to tiny mirrors and set in ethically-produced all-blackened brass hardware.

A blackened bow sits atop the cameos, and a tiny rhinestone shimmers from each earwire.

Hematite is used by traditional healers as a stone of strength and power. It is said to prevent the wearer from absorbing negativity from other people, enhance willpower and reliability, and impart confidence.

We love these earrings, they are a beautiful blend of neo-classical style and grace.

Cameo: 13/18mm.
