<td width="100%">
Superbly executed hand carved Cornelian shell cameo brooch and pendant combination mounted in a delicate filigree yellow gold over stamped .925 sterling frame. Both shell and mounting exhibit a delicate softness to the overall motif. Facial features are more Anglo than Roman or Grecian and attired in the style of the Belle' Epoch Period.<p>Right facing profile of female subject in elegant attire. Soft waves of upswept hair, crowned with a Gardenia type flower. Same flower embellishes her draped, slightly off-the-shoulder collar. Cameo is prong set in the oval filigree frame.<p>Brooch measures 1.5 by 1.5 inches and has a goose-neck pendant bale and single pin attachment with security closure. Oval plaque marked KL Sterling logo on the back of the mounting. Overall rated to be in very good condition and appears to have be worn minimally, however, there is darkening to some of the prongs. I cannot ascertain if this is loss of the gold wash or in need of polishing. Circa 1930 - 1935.
