Antique Estate Cameo Brooch-Two Color Oyster Shell. Beautiful large cameo with sterling silver back. Cameos were often carvings of Roman or Greek dieties which appears to be the case with this cameo. The secondary color of the shell has been used to an artful advantage, highlighting the flowers in her hair and the folds of her garment. A bale has been added so that it may also be used as a pendant. Measures 5.5''x4.5''. The back is stamped ''Sterling'' and the frame appears to be a gold wash over sterling with seed pearls added as accents Beautiful piece with a real Victorian style!
