Exceptional 14K White Gold and Shell Cameo. Tiny Accent Diamonds Create the Illusion of a Necklace. Beautiful Piece. Cameos carved from shell have been prized over a 150 years. In some cases, the work can be so detailed and fine, that the overall effect is breathtaking. This cameo has a perfect neo-classical portrait of a woman, the details in her hair, flowers, gown and most especially her face are exquisitely rendered. Add the illusion of a three diamond pendant necklace, and it is easy to see the quality. Cameo is set in an 14K white gold filigree bezel with a sturdy pin back. Superior antique condition.
Estimated Value $500 - 800
