DESCRIPTION: A pretty cast brooch featuring a cameo shell with a women's portrait on the front set with a yellow gold plated surround.
Cameos have been used for a variety of purposes throughout history. The first iteration of cameos can be traced as far back as 15,000 B.C., where ancient
civilizations in Egypt carved figures into rocks as a means to record significant events. Since, they’ve been decorated with a wide range of carvings, representing
everything from mythological and biblical beings to status and prestige.
CONDITION: Good condition, with some age related wear and patina to the gold. The safety chain has been broken and has been taken into consideration when pricing the item.
