Victorian 15ct Gold & Shell Cameo Brooch of a Classical Ladies Head

447T
680 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty brooch composed of a finely carved shell cameo surrounded by a 15ct gold mount with rope work detail. The cameo is typical of the late Victorian period, circa 1880, and would most likely have been carved in Naples, Italy. The carving of the classical lady is of particularly good quality with attention to detail. it is not a large brooch so it is easy to wear on a lapel or a dress.
