Oh, I love cameos! Yours are quite nice, certainly a lot nicer than most cameo earrings I’ve seen. Do you happen to know anything about their age? (I’m a history nerd, yes 
and curious as a cat to boot!) I love the fact that they dangle. So elegant!
To answer your question: the value of a cameo is firstly in the carving, then in the frame/mount. I’ve seen earrings similar to yours varying wildly in value, so I’m not going to say any numbers, because I don’t want to be very very off in my estimates.
What I would suggest is to browse sold ebay items or etsy to see what other sell for, maybe that will help to get an idea of their value.

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about their age and I have looked on eBay and Etsy and not found anything similar I think I may take them to a jewellery shop to get some information about them

I recently purchased these cameo drop earrings from a thrift store that are 9ct gold (they are stamped) and have screw backs. I haven’t been able to find anything similar online and wondered whether they are a common find or not and are they valuable ?
I did a quick search and found a very similar pair of earrings. They were described as mid-century (1950's era).
