Classic and lovely, this vintage cameo is a lovely pendant, complemented by the beautiful, original necklace. The lady is wonderfully carved, with great details in her hair and the set of her shoulders.
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.
