This Victorian "Gibson Girl" style shell cameo brooch depicts a gorgeous young woman with an enviable full head of naturally wavy locks. The carnelian shell cameo is 1 3/8" high and is bezel-mounted within a frame of the most intricate band of filigree hearts! Even the side ornaments—resembling butterfly wings—and the top and bottom inserts are filigree. And I love how the portrait completely fills the frame—the artist certainly made beautiful use of the shell and gives us much to admire. Her wide collar drapes fluidly around her neck and shoulders and is adorned with a cluster of blossoms on her left shoulder. The frame is not marked but tests as sterling purity. The pin is secured with a safety clasp. As you can see, the condition of the shell cameo is pristine and she is unquestionably a beauty!
