Vintage Shell Cameo Pendant Brooch
14K Yellow Gold (Hallmarked & Tested)
XRF Confirmed 14K Purity
This classic vintage cameo depicts a finely carved feminine profile in a traditional white-on-pink shell. The relief is set within a solid 14-karat yellow gold oval frame, accented by a delicate twisted rope border. While the piece was originally a brooch, it features a fold-away bale, allowing it to transition into a pendant for use with a chain. The piece retains its original 14K hallmark and has been verified via XRF analysis.
• Hand-carved shell cameo with elegant feminine profile motif
• Solid 14K yellow gold frame with decorative twisted rope trim
• Dual-purpose design with integrated fold-away pendant bale
• Clear 14K hallmark located on the lower reverse edge of the frame
Condition: Fair vintage condition with noted functional defects. The pin stem is missing from the brooch mechanism on the reverse; the hinge and C-clasp catch remain intact. The gold frame exhibits visible denting and surface scratches consistent with age and use. The shell cameo is secure in the setting and free of cracks. XRF analyzer in photo confirms 58.7% gold content, verifying 14K purity. Sold as-is for repair, repurposing, or scrap recovery value.
