Listing Description


A beautifully carved shell cameo brooch featuring a classic right-facing female profile, delicately detailed with flowing drapery and floral adornment. The soft contrast between the creamy white relief and warm peach background gives this piece that unmistakable antique cameo elegance collectors love.


Set within a sculptural goldtone frame with an organic, twisted motif, this piece captures the enduring appeal of Victorian revival jewelry produced in the early 20th century.


Measurements

1.75” by 1 3/8” approximately


Condition

Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. The cameo carving remains crisp and well preserved. The pin assembly has been replaced and now features a later safety clasp, which was added after the original period. Evidence of soldering is visible on the reverse, consistent with this modification. 


Dating Notes

The carved shell cameo style aligns with pieces produced circa 1900–1930. The presence of a later safety clasp suggests an update, as original early 20th century brooches often featured simpler C-clasps or early safety mechanisms before modern closures became standard. 


Styling

A timeless heirloom piece perfect for Old Money styling. Wear it on a blazer lapel, silk blouse, or ribbon at the neckline for a romantic Victorian-inspired look. Equally beautiful displayed in a jewelry case as part of a curated cameo collection.
