Vintage Shell Cameo Pope Pius XII, Catholic Historical Relic
About the Item
Catholic Historical Relic, Very Rare Carved Shell Cameo Pope Pius XII In 14K Solid Gold Frame.
We present you with one of the most rare and unique cameos. This cameo is not only a collector's item and a piece of jewelry art but also has a significant historical value. This cameo depicts Pope Pius XII - a colorful and controversial historical figure. The highest quality of carving with the finest details makes this piece unique and unrivaled in its kind. This is a large, rather heavy cameo made on a shell, and it is set in an exquisite 14k gold setting, closing with a secure gold lock. This cameo can be worn as a brooch or pendant, making it an even more versatile piece of jewelry.
Cameo dimensions: 65mm x 50mm
Cameo weight: 30.3 grams.
Over the past fifteen years, the most expensive cameo was sold at one of the world's famous auctions for 350 thousand dollars. In addition, several other well-known and historically significant cameos have recently been sold for very high prices well above ours. Some are significantly inferior in quality to our cameo, but they all have great historical significance.

Noblesse Oblige Studio
Noblesse Oblige specializes in fine jewelry and vintage art. We combine rare semi-precious stones, corals, and pearls with gold and silver to make unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. We abide by the classics in jewelry, but the search for new ideas in jewelry design is ongoing, as well as a careful selection of stones is continually being made and carried out.
The manufacture of jewelry made from natural stones has its own subtleties associated primarily with the selection of gems. The gems in the products should be ideally matched in terms of shade, cut quality, and size. In all our jewelry items, we strive to emphasize the natural beauty of the stone, using gold and silver only as a light accent, as an organic addition to the magical internal appeal of the gem. We offer the best collection of vintage beads. Turquoise, corals, garnets, amethysts, lapis lazuli, jades, and other unique gems acquire a variety of shapes and shapes and are impeccable in their radiance and brilliance. We specialize in rare vintage clasps and simply classic antique jewelry.
Each Noblesse Oblige Studio jewelry is hand-made with love. We use solely natural materials. Every piece of our jewelry reflects a unique time and place in the collective consciousness of mankind.
