A rare 'frameless' cameo, so-called because it is set in a sort of easel of gold that holds the cameo without surrounding it. Just four little squares of gold set with half pearls are seen from the front. The cameo iself is a lovely profile bust carved from white to pink coral. It does have a NON-original safety clasp. The gold is unmarked. Overall dimensions are 1.5" by more than 1". A very ELEGANT cameo.
