VINTAGE CAMEO NAUTICAL GOLD HOOP SINGLE EARRINGS
GOLD
MADE TO ORDER
Anchors represent security, safety and hope. Boats and Ships symbolise adventure, crossing the sea can represent taking a new emotional journey.
The cameo is mounted in a bespoke solid gold setting suspended from a lightweight Yellow Gold Creole Hoop which opens with an integral hinge, and closes to form a complete circular earring.
These vintage cameos are some of the last to be produced by Wedgwood’s Stoke-on-Trent pottery and date from the 1950s- 1980s and are pieces of British ceramic history. The hand made, kiln fired quality makes it slightly irregular and each setting has to be adjusted to fit the setting.
The earring will be lost wax cast, polished and set by hand by one master craftsperson in London and finally hallmarked in Hatton Garden, London.
Any of the cameos seen in our round Vintage Ceramic Ring collection can be mounted in this setting - please email customerenquiries@ferian.co.uk for details.
Please note the earrings are sold individually.
Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery. All earrings are bespoke and made to order and non returnable unless faulty.

Ferian's designer Leonie Branston has a special interest in preserving and reframing British crafts so they can be enjoyed and appreciated by a contemporary audience. At Ferian we are particularly drawn to the vintage Wedgwood cameos dating from the 1950s-80s featuring heraldry, nature and nautical motifs for use in our jewellery.
Abolitionist, potter, entrepreneur, Josiah Wedgwood revolutionised ceramics. His pioneering spirit transformed a cottage industry into an art form, and his legacy is internationally renowned today. Founded in the 1770s the elegant designs were influenced by classicism, but his pottery though decorative was functional, durable and made to be enjoyed and used by generations. The signature fine matt porcelain — known as Jasperware, was developed after over 10,000 experiments. Many unique colours were created; Dark blue, Portland blue, Lilac and Sage green, but by far the most famous is the Pale blue, a tone recognisable around the world today. The patterned bas-relief motifs were delicately applied by hand then kiln fired.
The Stoke-on-Trent pottery is now a museum, owned by the Victoria and Albert Museum.
