Signup for our store newsletter. This is a lovely vintage diamond and 14K yellow gold cameo brooch measuring 1 7/16 inches (37.2 MM) long by 1 1/8 inches (28.9 MM) wide with a stationary jump ring enabling it to also be worn as a pendant. As early as 1805, craftsmen began using shell for cameos because it was easily carved due to its many layers, as compared to onyx or agate. Designs throughout history include many subjects.

But, the most common of all is that of a noble Romanesque maiden with classic features, Roman dress, jewelry and intricately, often floral embellished hair. The hand carved shell cameo depicts a lovely maiden of nobility with much attention paid to her detailed hair, clothing and crisp and distinct facial features. She wears a heart pendant necklace, prong set with a natural, genuine, untreated, round, faceted. 01CT single cut diamond of J color and I1 clarity.

There are two visible linear cracks in the background of the cameo that are not overtly obvious when worn and are mentioned for accuracy. The cameo is bezel set in an oval frame that features two rope edge borders and has a secure pin back with a lock. Although it is not marked, the brooch is thoroughly tested and 100% guaranteed 14K. It has been professionally cleaned and brightly polished and weighs 5 grams.
