An antique lava cameo suite of brooch and screw back earrings together with a shell cameo, the black lava brooch depicting a pretty young bacchante with grapes and vine leaves in her curled hair, her drapery slipped from her shoulder, in a plain collet mount, the earrings en suite, lengths 5.1 and 1.8cm; the shell cameo carved with the same bibulous subject, the plain yellow precious metal mount stamped '9ct', with safety chain, length 4.7cm (3) The lava cameos are in good condition for age, no marked chips or cracks, though the brooch has a fine shallow scratch on the background, and the mounts are not high quality and have some damage and repair. The shell cameo has a few fine cracks near the edge and a replaced pin.
