Beautiful hand carved natural shell cameo in 880 Silver. This cameo weighs 8.8 grams and measures 1.25 inches high by 1.00 inch wide. Appraisal priced at $795. A rarity with the Madonna showing a halo of German origin. Beautifully carved and great detail. Can be worn as a pin or a pendant on a hidden bail. Cameos are one of the oldest forms of collectible art. The cameo process combines the artist's capabilities with the work of a goldsmith. The concept of cameos became popular during Greek and Roman times. It also became a traditional parting gift between mothers and daughters. Cameos remain today as one of the most sought after collectibles.
