Description: Beautiful Antique, Victorian Cameo Shell Pendant and Pin for a lacy blouse. Gorgeous. Old European Silver, hallmarked 800. check photos. Long ago humans began using attractive shells for jewelry. Because it's durable and easy to fashion, shell has remained popular as a gem material right up to the present. Its close association with water especially the sea gives it an aura of romance and magic similar to that of pearl and coral. Some of the finest cameos appear in jewelry from the mid -1800s. During those years queen Victoria's fondness for cameos created a fashion trend that inspired skilled gem artists to produce masterpieces of artistic and technical beauty. This gorgeous cameo with a women profile carved so well. I purchased this beauty 30 years ago at an antique show in South Africa.This conch shell ranges from light to dark orange. The carved lady has a beautiful face and hair. Hallmarked 800. Old European Silver. It is almost 4 centimeters in length and 3cm in width. It is part of my personal collection.
