Cameo Vintage Cameo Jewelry Vintage Shell Cameo Brooch Pendant

Shell Cameo with thin Silver Frame. Brooch or Pendant. Marcasite gives added sparkle and flare to this rich, delicate piece .Cameos depicting women with jewelry such as a necklace, bracelet, earring or diadem are known as habillé, which means “dressed,” “clad” or “dressy.” Habillé cameos became popular during the 1840s. I am guessing this piece was made somewhere in the early 1900s. It has a nice deep shell and is very well preserved ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
