Cameo Sterling Silver Brooch Pendant: Vintage Carved Shell Pearls Smoky Quartz

This is an amazing carved shell cameo! She is stunning with all of her tiny details. Flowing hair, flower, pearl necklace, etc. She is done in a nod to the Art Nouveau stye. She is a large piece that makes quite a statement at 3 1/2" long. She is surrounded by real faceted smoky quartz beads. A row of white pearls frames that. She can be worn as a pendant or a brooch. She is set into a sterling silver with gold vermeil accents. The prongs are tiny silver prongs with the gold accents. Even the sterling work on the back is pretty. Her bail is an enhancer so she can easily be added to a chain or strand of beads. She is signed by the artist. She is a limited edition piece, numbered 12/100. Wonderful and unique piece to add to your collection! **** This is one of several pieces I was able to purchase from an estate of a jewelry hoarder. As a result these look like they were never worn! Measurements: 3 1/2" Long Condition: Lovely vintage condition, vintage patina Markings: The back of the cameo is hand signed by the artist but I cannot read it; tiny 925 Weight: 53 grams Please examine enlarged photos for details and condition. Much more beautiful in real life. I am not an expert on vintage jewelry, but I do buy and sell what I love! Since these items are vintage, they may have a wonderful aged patina and are not meant or expected to look brand new. I treasure their imperfections as part of their charm and history.
