Superb Italian cameo, that has the carvers name scratched in the shell on the back. It is marked 800, which was the European Silver mark. It is gold over silver, and the carving in the Cameo is wonderful and detailed. She is 1 3/4 inches long, and 1 3/8 inches wide. There is an attachment on it for a pendant, and the lock on the pin is missing (I have priced the brooch accordingly) this would not be at all hard to have replaced
