Vintage Shell Cameo Brooch & Pendant in 800 Silver – Hand-Carved – Mid 20th Century A beautifully hand-carved shell cameo depicting a classical lady in profile, set in a solid 800 silver frame with an elegant rope-edge border. This piece is designed for dual use and can be worn both as a brooch and as a pendant, thanks to the discreet fold-down pendant loop on the reverse. The cameo shows crisp carving with fine detail in the hair, facial features and drapery, typical of traditional mid-20th-century craftsmanship. The shell displays natural warm tones ranging from caramel to ivory, giving depth to the portrait. The silver mount is stamped 800 and fitted with its original pin and C-clasp fastening. The pendant bail is fully functional and folds neatly away when worn as a brooch. The back of the shell shows natural texture and ageing, confirming it as a genuine hand-carved shell cameo. The piece is in good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear. A timeless and versatile example of classic cameo jewellery, suitable for both collection and everyday wear.
