Description from the seller

Beautiful brooch/pendant with a hand-engraved cameo on a Cassis Madagascariensis seashell, a splendid hand-engraved profile of a woman with a whimsical hat, echoing the iconography of 20th-century murders and the white dove turned to symbolize peace.

The versatility of the jewel allows it to be worn as a brooch or as a pendant (the chain is removable and the clasp hides behind the cameo).
We offer it with an elegant 925 sterling silver chain plated in gold. Cameo carved and signed by the Master Engraver of Torre del Greco, the renowned city for shell engraving.
