This is a beautiful vintage German cameo-style jewelry set from the 1940s to 1950s, featuring a dual-function pendant and brooch with matching clip-on earrings, each adorned with charming courting couple scenes inspired by 18th-century European romance paintings.
The pendant/brooch combination is a rare and unique design — the central porcelain-style cameo depicts a man and woman in period attire, framed in ornate gold filigree metalwork accented by faux pearls. The pendant can be worn on its intricate chain or detached to wear as a standalone brooch.
The matching earrings feature the same couple motif in slightly varied poses and are stamped “W. Germany.” The pendant is marked “Made in Germany.” These historical markings date the set firmly to the post–World War II era, when West German jewelry became known for its fine craftsmanship, romantic artistry, and elaborate filigree detailing.
