Presenting a beautifully crafted shell cameo, dating back to around 1950. This exquisite piece features a bas-relief profile of a woman adorned , showcasing her elegant neckline. It is in perfect condition and mounted on a panel within an oval frame made of gold-plated metal.
The cameo, a cherished piece of jewelry, is created by carving a stratified stone (typically onyx) or a shell, particularly the Cypraecassis Rufa, Cassis Madagascarensis, and Cassis Cornuta. These shells, from the Cassis family, have surfaces composed of two distinct colored layers, allowing the figure in relief to be clearly isolated from the background.
A true masterpiece for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage jewelry!
