Antique Art Nouveau Shell Cameo Habille Old Mine Diamond 14k White Gold Mount

Description

Fine Antique Art Nouveau Shell Cameo Habille in Solid  Hand Wrought 14k White Gold Mount.  Cameo is carved in exquisite detail in high relief in 3 layers using the top orange layer of the shell to highlight the Goddess' Hair and the bodice of her gown.  The details on the carving are lovely including wings in her hair, flowers both in her hair and on her shoulders, and her lovely classic profile and gown.  The shell carving remains crisp and has obviously been carefully stored.  The Cameo is a nice large size as is the Old Mine Diamond in her 14k white gold necklace-- it has beautiful clarity and sparkle.
Cameo measures approximately 2 1/8" x 1 7/8".  Weight is 10 grams.
A Beautiful Large Size  Antique Art Nouveau Carved Shell Cameo Habille in 14k White Gold Mount with Old Mine Diamond.  A lovely example of Old World Craftsmanship absent in today's mass manufactured jewelry.  A wearable work of art to treasure and pass down to the next generation!!
