The simple engraved bezel setting of this antique cameo is the perfect frame for the ornate carving of the shell. This portrait seems to be a young woman, with a wing in her hair and feathers on her clothes. The apricot of the coloring of the carved shell gives the cameo beautiful dimension and interest.
This can be worn as a pin or a pendant.
Cameo is the art of carving a layered material, creating a portrait or landscape with the difference in the colors. While traditionally done in shell, banded onyx has been used in cameo work - particularly in Greece and Italy - for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
