Description

We are delighted to offer this lovely vintage 9K gold cameo brooch made in Birmingham, England in 1966-7.

A wonderful shell cameo is mounted in a solid 9K gold frame with the central figurehead featuring intricate craftsmanship and engravings.

The figural features are crisp and delicately embellished, and the facial expression and details in the hair work are particularly beautiful and noteworthy.

A tiny bale is present on the top which may allow a small string-type necklace to be threaded to use this also as a pendant. On the reverse side, a locking clasp is present for extra security.

A splendid gift to a lucky individual or as an indulgent treat for oneself. Classically inspired and immediately distinguished when worn as an accoutrement to fine clothing.

The brooch is fully marked with English gold hallmarks for 9K solid gold on the reverse inside edge of the frame.

FAQs

Cameo carving involves relief carving on a precious or semi-precious stone or shell, a tradition dating back to ancient Greece and Rome that experienced significant revivals during the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras.

Traditional cameos are carved from layered natural materials such as sardonyx, agate, lava, or various species of sea shells, typically mounted in metals like gold or pinchbeck.

Authentic pieces can often be identified by examining the material under magnification for natural growth lines in shells, evaluating the tool marks left by hand carving, and checking for period-appropriate metal purity hallmarks.

Cameos add a touch of classic sophistication when worn as a lapel pin, fastened to a scarf, or displayed within a shadow box frame on a gallery wall.

Shell cameos are delicate and porous; they should be cleaned gently with a soft, dry cloth and kept away from harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
