Vintage Jewelry:Hand-carved Shell Sweet Woman Cameo Pin Beautiful hand-carved shell cameo shows a somewhat buxom
woman with a very sweet face and soft expression. The style is
characteristic of 1920s with a slightly turned-up nose and bobbed hair,
which is shown in great detail. The carver used the natural color of the
shell to accent the rose in her hair. There is another flower with leaves
on the softly draped bodice.

This hand-carved 1920s cameo is in excellent condition and is bezel set
into a filigree frame with rose...

Vintage Mythological Hand-Carved Shell Cameo Brooch Another lovely hand-carved shell cameo depicting the Goddess Flora, not suprisingly the goddess of flowers. This 1940s vintage cameo shows Flora in profile with flowers cascading through her hair and on the bodice of her gown. The detail and dimensionality of the cameo brooch is extremely fine and beautiful.
This vintage cameo is in excellent, original condition with a bezel-set cameo and simple, deep frame. The only flaw I see is that 2 holes have been drilled at the base of the setting,...

Vintage Jewelry: Unusual Brooch with Coral Shell Cameo I have never seen a piece made like this before: it has a small, rectangular, hand carved shell cameo bezel set in the center of a diamond-shaped silvertone metal brooch. The metal has repousse fleur-de-lis in an irregular design over the entire surface and the cameo bezel is an integral part of the setting--not a separate piece set into it.
The back is fairly plain with some random swirls that make it look as if the metal had been poured into a mold. The cameo pin has an older style C...

Victorian Hand-Carved Shell Bacchante Cameo Brooch Lovely and unusual hand-carved shell cameo pin in a diamond-shape setting in three goldtone colors : yellow, rose and white goldtone or silver in unmarked metal. The shell cameo is very finely carved and shows a woman with grape leaves in her hair, characteristic of representations of Bacchantes, followers of Bacchus, god of wine among other things.
The setting is quite interesting with the border formed of bars of yellow goldtone alternating with rose goldtone flowers. There is an oval...

Victorian Hardstone Cameo in Elaborate Setting I don't believe I've seen a piece quite like this one. It has an elaborate geometric-shaped setting in gilt brass, with both engraving and black enamel work framing a small hardstone cameo held in place by four wide, engraved prongs. The figure is wearing either a high headdress or bonnet and is complete but tiny. There are two fringed pendants dangling from the bottom of the piece. The back is even more unfamiliar to me: it has the old "c" clasp, but the pin isn't...

Vintage Jewelry: Delicate Shell Cameo with Marcasites Excellent, hand-carved shell cameo in an 800 silver frame set with marcasites. Cameo is slightly domed for a dimensional affect and is prong set on both the front and back. Setting is marked 800 and has a distinct Arts & Crafts look, safety clasp, and a hinged loop so it can be worn as a pendant.

Hand-carved Vintage Shell Cameo Pendant Necklace Very nice hand-carved shell cameo pendant, prong set into a brass frame with beaded border. The carving is nicely detailed, showing a woman in profile. This would be a nice starter piece for a collector of cameos.
This cameo pendant is in very good, original condition with nice patina on the setting. It is on an 18 inch gold-filled chain with spring-ring clasp. Pendant is 1 1/8 x 1 3/8 not including the hanging loop. Great piece to start a cameo collection at a very reasonable price.

Vintage Jewelry: Small Hand-carved Shell Cameo Brooch Nice, small hand-carved shell cameo pin/pendant of a woman with flowers in her hair. The cameo is bezel set into a twisted rope frame in unmarked gold metal which is probably gold-filled.
This shell cameo is in excellent condition with secure safety clasp and hinged loop for wearing as a pendant. The carving is nice and clean but not spectacular. I would guess this piece probably dates to the 1970s or later and would be a wonderful choice to begin a cameo collection. Size is 3/4 x 1 1/4...
