A vintage carved cameo brooch pendant depicting a woman's profile. Main characteristics of the jewelry: Material: Traditional cameo, hand-carved on a natural seashell (usually from the Cassidae family, which imparts a characteristic soft orange or salmon background). Setting: Oval, 9k gold frame with a decorative border in the form of twisted rope or braid. Functionality: A versatile 2-in-1 piece. On the back, there is both a classic pin for wearing as a brooch and a loop (eye) at the top for using as a pendant on a chain.
