Offered here is an authentic antique shell cameo brooch set in solid 10K gold, dating to the late Victorian era (circa 1890–1910).

The cameo is hand-carved from natural shell, depicting a classical female bust in high relief. It is mounted in a hand-worked gold frame with period-correct tooling and an original antique C-clasp, indicating genuine 19th-century construction.

This style and quality of carving are strongly associated with Italian cameo workshops, particularly those active in the late 19th century.
