Victorian 15ct Gold, Shell Cameo Brooch of a Greek Lady

879S
240 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This cameo is not large and is a very neat look when worn. It was made circa 1860-1880 when cameo jewellery was very popular. The subject is a Neo Classical bust of a Greek lady carved in shell. The 15ct gold work around it is top quality with beading and rope work. It has a secure pin on the reverse. Cameos look great when worn on a lapel.

Ollys Pick

I particularly like this well carved cameo brooch.
