Antique Victorian Cameo Shell Brooch Greek Young Lady

About the Item

We are thrilled to present this amazing Victorian Cameo Brooch, dating back to the 1830s-1850s. The beautiful portrait of a young Greek lady is expertly carved into the shell with exceptional detail and relief. The frame is made of pinchbeck, an alloy of copper and zinc mixed to resemble gold in appearance, with stunning embossed designs and intricate details. The hinged pin lock on a simple "C" clasp closure ensures a secure and comfortable fit when wearing this exquisite brooch. Measuring approximately 2" (51.4mm) x 1.6" (41.3mm), this gorgeous vintage cameo brooch is in excellent pre-owned condition and sure to be admired for years to come. Please note the frame shows signs of age and wear, but the cameo itself is in amazing condition with no cracks or chips. Whether purchasing as a gift for yourself or someone special, this Victorian Cameo Brooch is the perfect addition to any jewelry collection.
