Offered in this lot for bidding is a pair of two antique cameo brooch pins, or pendants. Each cameo shows a carved bust of a Victorian era woman, and sits on a silver base. Both cameos show intricate relief carved shell, with a vibrant white fore-ground, and a semi-transparent, soft orange background. Both cameos are marked "800", attributing to their silver purity. The cameos originate from round the turn of the century. Both are in good, original condition. Both pieces are approximately the same size, though the slightly larger piece measures 1 1/2" tall, and 1 1/4" wide.
