Cameos are true pieces of artistic portraiture often depicting old world ethereal beauty and providing nostalgic charm to modern wardrobes. This early 1900's carved shell cameo depicts a beautiful woman with a goddess aesthetic including an intricate hair style and a draped gown. The simple silver setting is not hallmarked though it appears to be sterling. Outfitted with straight pin, c-ring catch and a ring that allows for use as a pendant.

Very good vintage condition with some patina to the silver setting.

The brooch measures 1.75" tall x 1.25" wide x .5" deep including the straight pin hardware. See less
