Charming Art Deco Carnelian shell cameo brooch from circa 1940’s set in a hotsell heavy, fancy gilt bezel. FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING

This is a charming Carnelian hotsell shell, Art Deco cameo brooch dating back to circa 1940's.

This cameo has a very pretty feel to it, the carnelian shell colour being very rich with lovely hues and quite translucent. The carving is simple but charming.

There are some minor hairline cracks which may be seen from the back when the cameo is put to light. The larger crack runs down from the lady's nose to her shoulder and there is another smaller one further up. These cracks are tiny and do not detract from the cameo's beauty. Other than that, this cameo brooch is in wonderful vintage condition with only minimal, expected wear for a vintage item.

The mounting is very pretty and quite heavy. It is an unknown gold-toned metal. There is some slight wear to the gilt.

The length of the cameo is just over 5cms tall. There is a safety pin attached. A pretty and wearable cameo.
