Description
Here's a vintage early 1940s hand-carved shell cameo brooch, set in gold-filled metal. The shell cameo featuresthe profile of a beautiful lady who appears to have a sort of "marcelled" or very wavy hairdo with a large petaled flower in back. (I understand that marcelled hair was very popular in the 1930s - although I believe this cameo was created a little later, probably right before World War II.) Be sure to view all photos with this listing.
The shell cameo itself is expertly hand-set into a gold-filled bezel, and the bezel is mounted onto a golden frame with twisted decorative gold metal strands all around. The brooch measures just over 1
⅜
" long by about 1
⅛
" across. Also, it's signed
1/20 10K AMCO
on the inside of the frame. You can see it in the seventh or second-from-last photo with this listing
.
The hand-carving on this shell cameo is just beautiful! It's not unlike the type of carving you would see on many 14kt and 18kt gold brooches or pendants. Overall condition is
VERY GOOD
to
EXCELLENT
- and the cameo itself is perfect. You can begin wearing this cameo brooch as soon as you remove it from its wrappings.
