Shipping guarantee Antique Unusual White Shell Cameo Brooch or Pendant in Yellow Gold Frame

The frame of this antique piece is yellow gold, bordering on true rose. The warm color and completely unadorned style are the perfect compliment for this unusual cameo! Carved from a very pale, tan conch shell, this lady is beautifully portrayed, and almost entirely ghostly white. This piece can be worn as a pin or a pendant.

Cameo is the art of carving a layered material, creating a portrait or landscape with the difference in the colors. While traditionally done in shell, banded onyx has been used in cameo work - particularly in Greece and Italy - for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
