Description
A fine mid Victorian shell cameo featuring an exceptionally carved classical female profile. The detail is remarkable, particularly in the flowing curls and ruffled bodice, suggesting the work of a master carver.
The cameo is set in a 15ct yellow gold mount, with an alternating pattern of smooth bands and fine rope twist detailing. With its exceptional carving and rare 15ct mount, this brooch makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates the romantic, hand finished elegance of the 1870s.
