Lovely Mid-Century Hand-Carved Cameo in 10K Yellow Gold with 10K Chain
We were fortunate to acquire 3 beautiful vintage Cameos from a very knowledgeable and long-time collector. This is one of those 3.
This is a white on pink Conch-Shell Cameo from Italy made in the 1950s. In classic Italian Cameo Style, it features a beautiful lady in profile. The hand carving is rendered in high relief with very, very sharp and well defined detail. Cameos are always in style for classically dressy occasions and this will put your outfit over the top. As typical for Cameos of this period it can be worn either as a pendant or as a pin with both bail and clasp on the back.
This Cameo is elegantly framed in solid 10K, hand chased, Yellow Gold. The Cameo measures a good sized 36mm x 28mm and has a weight of 7.5 grams. It suspends from a 10K Yellow Gold Rope Chain that is approximately 21 inches in length and weighs 2.8 grams. Total weight 10.3 grams.
