Antique Filigree Carved Shell Cameo 14K White Gold Brooch Pendant with Diamond

About the Item

A Timeless Union of Artistry and Elegance Indulge in the romantic allure of this Antique 14K White Gold Cameo, showcasing a meticulously hand-carved shell cameo portrait adorned with an old-world filigree setting. Complete with a sparkling diamond accent at the center, this piece serves as both a brooch and pendant, transitioning seamlessly between different styling preferences and occasions. Key Features & Design Carved Shell Cameo Expertly hand-carved cameo, depicting a classic profile or mythological figure (depending on the carving), exuding a warm, natural patina that underscores its vintage charm. The cameo’s fine detail highlights the artisan’s skill, capturing delicate facial features and subtle textural nuances. Diamond Accent A single diamond accent adds a touch of brilliance, enhancing the cameo’s elegant motif without overwhelming its subtlety. The diamond is typically prong-set for security and a refined hint of sparkle. 14K White Gold Filigree Frame Marked “14K” on the pin catch, verifying its authenticity. The filigree design showcases intricate, lace-like metalwork—an iconic feature in vintage cameos from the early 20th century—reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and an antique aesthetic. Convertible Brooch/Pendant Features a pin on the back for brooch wear and often a hidden bail or loop for use as a pendant, ensuring versatile use across different outfits or events. Measurements & Weight Approximately 1.5 inches x 1.2 inches Total Weight: ~6.2 grams Sizable enough for a refined presence on a lapel or collar, yet petite enough for delicate styling when worn as a pendant. Why Choose This Antique Cameo? Historic Appeal Cameos have been cherished collectibles for centuries, admired for their romantic visuals and the finely honed techniques used by skilled artisans. Owning a piece like this connects you to a rich heritage of personal adornment. Timeless Style Ideal for fans of Art Nouveau and Edwardian-era aesthetics, cameo jewelry retains an air of old-world sophistication that pairs beautifully with modern or classic fashion. Versatile Wear Wear it pinned to a lapel or a little black dress for an elegant accent, or slip it onto a chain to transform it into a vintage-inspired pendant necklace. Care & Maintenance Handling The carved shell cameo is somewhat delicate; avoid exposing it to water, oils, or harsh chemicals that may affect its surface or color. Cleaning Gently wipe gold surfaces with a soft cloth. For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild solution suitable for both gold and natural shell cameos, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Storage Keep in a soft-lined jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratches or accidental knocks against harder items. Embrace the charm and craftsmanship of yesteryear with this 14K White Gold Filigree Carved Shell Cameo—complete with an elegant diamond accent—where timeless beauty and versatile styling meet to enliven any jewelry collection.
