This is a lovely antique shell cameo with a particularly nice left-facing profile.
The carved shell cameo is set into a gold-filled frame and can be worn as either a brooch or pendant, giving you a couple of different ways to enjoy it. The clasp is in good working condition. The gold-filled frame has some age-related wear and discoloration, which adds to its antique character.
There is one little detail we're still trying to figure out: at certain angles, the tip of the nose can look like it has a small chip or imperfection, but we don't believe the nose is actually chipped. We've included plenty of photos so you can take a good look and decide for yourself.
We love the classic look of an antique shell cameo, and this one has the added bonus of being wearable as either a brooch or pendant. A timeless piece with plenty of history and just enough mystery to keep you looking twice.
