Refined 14k White Gold Intricately Carved Habille Cameo Pendant Brooch 19g

This stunningly beautiful vintage shell cameo is set into 14 carat white gold and is an exceptional jewellery piece. The cameo itself is so intricately carved, making full use of the natural layers of the shell. The highly skilled carver has created a spectacularly well carved portrait in a figurative style. The portrait of the lady is elegantly portrayed in a warm light peach colour with some stronger coloured accents against the carnelian tones of the background shell. The pretty lady gazes off to her right, the fine carving style of her hair and the beautiful flowers just add to the appeal.

The lady is wearing a gorgeous diamond 'Habille' necklace, this delightful accent really adds to the allure of the piece. Around the setting is a fine woven, filigree design with a repeating chevron pattern, framing the portrait perfectly. To the rear of the piece the brooch and pendant bale fittings are in rose gold. The cameo pendant / brooch is stamped with 14k to the tip of the brooch fitting. This very impressive cameo would be a fabulous addition to any collection.
