The simple engraved bezel setting of this antique cameo is the perfect frame for the ornate carving of the shell. This portrait seems to be a young woman, with a wing in her hair and feathers on her clothes. The coloring of the carved shell, with darker orange areas, gives the cameo beautiful dimension and interest.
This can be worn as a pin or a pendant.
