Description
This Art Nouveau/Art Deco cameo brooch/pin was brought over from England. Its style borders the two periods - Art Nouveau, where leafy tendrils in the 800 silver filigree overlap geometric figures so loved in the Art Deco period. The brooch measures 1 3/4" long and 1 1/8" from top to bottom. The cameo appears to be carved stone or possibly a very light Sardonyx Shell. I am leaning towards stone because the back appears uncurved and is a light grayish/cream color, which I read Sardonyx Shell can run to.The cameo has a little leeway of movement inside the looped bezel, and I recommend having a jeweler tighten the bezel. It is a simple procedure, but a jeweler has the right tools and knows how much pressure can be put on their tools and the bezel. The back is a C-Clasp closure, which is still tight. The straight pin has a small ripple in it, commensurate with this pin's age.
