1890-1910 10K gold, Left Facing Victorian Carved Shell Cameo

Set in 10K yellow gold, this brooch features an oval, hand-carved white shell cameo that is timeless in its charm. A retractable bail allows the brooch to be worn as a pendant necklace or brooch, with the pin and a "C" clasp. The intricate details of the carving showcase the artistry of the era, making it a prized piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. With its rich history stemming from Europe (most probably Italy), this cameo brooch/pendant is not just a piece of jewelry but a tangible slice of history. The soft white of the shell, the warm glow of the gold, and the lovely amber colored background, create a distinct contrast that is quite striking; perfect for adding a touch of antique sophistication to any time or place.

This brooch is preowned and exhibits normal wear and tear though it is in extremely good condition, with nothing apparently missing or broken. Wonderful packaging for gift giving.
