The frame of this vintage cameo is crafted of 14 karat yellow gold, with a sleek high polish. The warm color and completely unadorned style are a perfect complement to this lovely cameo! Carved from a very pale, tan conch shell, this lady is beautifully portrayed, and this piece can be worn as a pin or a pendant.
Cameo is the art of carving a layered material, creating a portrait or landscape with the difference in the colors. While traditionally done in shell, banded onyx has been used in cameo work – particularly in Greece and Italy – for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
