Antique Carved Shell Cameo with Two Portraits in Profile, 19th Century

$850 USDAntique Carved Shell Cameo with Two Portraits in Profile, 19th Century

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo
This is a rare piece that will attract praise, since one almost never sees a cameo with two portraits in profile. This is the first one I had ever seen. I always like to wear a cameo that people really take note of, and this certainly qualifies. The cameo is well carved, and in Excellent Condition. The cameo itself measures 1 and 3/4 inches long and over 1 inch wide; the frame increases the measurements somewhat. It is a lovely apricot shade background, with the carved areas a rich cream color. ...
Exquisitely Carved Antique Cameo, in Gorgeous and Unusual Bezel, Pendant or Pin

$900 USDExquisitely Carved Antique Cameo, in Gorgeous and Unusual Bezel, Pendant or Pin

Jewelry:Antique:Cameo:Carved Stone Cameo
I have been collecting cameos for so many years, and really love fine carving. This is so exceptional. The carving is simply exquisite, in high relief in a beautiful light ivory. The background is a medium cafe au lait, with some hint of rich gold. The bezel is a work of art itself; a large reticulated pattern interspersed with coral "flowers." There appears to be some small numbers on the pin, but I can't make them out. The cameo is in Excellent Condition. It is over 1 inch long by nearly 1 ...
Delicate Little Marcasite Pin with Cameo

$75 USD Offers ConsideredDelicate Little Marcasite Pin with Cameo

Jewelry:Vintage:Carved, Cameo:Lady In Profile:Marcasite:Pin
Tis is small and elegant. I would use this as a gift for a young girl, so she could wear a cameo like her mother! The total length is a bit over one inch long, and a bit under one inch wide. The cameo itself is 1/2 inch wide and a bit over 1/2 inch long. The cameo is white and is framed in what appears to be marcasite in a steel or silver colored frame. It has the C closure on back. It is in Very Good Condition.
Exquisite Large Shell Cameo, 9 Karat Gold Mount, 19th Century

$1,500 USDExquisite Large Shell Cameo, 9 Karat Gold Mount, 19th Century

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo
This is a fabulous hand-carved shell cameo in a 9 Ct Gold Mount. The Cameo itself is 2" high; the mount measures 2 3/8" high. It has a hallmark on the gold mount, "9" "365" Anchor and "U". The U is a capital italic. It has a safety catch and gold safety chain attached. This is even more beautiful in person.
Huge Antique Cameo - Hebe Feeding Zeus' Eagle

$950 USDHuge Antique Cameo - Hebe Feeding Zeus' Eagle

Jewelry:Antique:Cameo:Mythology:Eagle:Hebe:Zeus:Goddess:Hebe Feeding Zeus' Eagle:Collectible
This exquisite carved cameo is in relief in a delicate off-white tone on a cafe au lait colored background. Thanks to a very nice browser, this fascinating scene from mythology has been properly identified. The cameo is huge; over 2 full inches long and 1 and 3/4 inches wide. The bezel is a lovely gold ribbon and rope designs, and brings the height to 2 and 1/4 inches and the width to nearly 2 inches. The cameo is in Very Good to Excellent Condition, except for a line that is barely visible only ...
Huge Exquisite Antique Cameo, Ethereal and Mystical,

$750 USDHuge Exquisite Antique Cameo, Ethereal and Mystical,

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo:Athena:Goddess Of Wisdom:Carved Shell
This is so lovely for so many reasons. Certainly, the beauty of the carving, as well as the beauty of the subject, are outstanding. I believe this is Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, since she is so many times pictured with this type of lunate earring. The similarity to other carvings really stops there. Her expression is quite defined; her eye is open .... harder to carve effectively, in my opinion, than closed eyes. The artist carver has worked the relief in a rich deep cream, almost a light cafe-au ...
Very Unusual Antique Left Facing Cameo, Gold Bezel, Pin or Pendant

$500 USDVery Unusual Antique Left Facing Cameo, Gold Bezel, Pin or Pendant

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo
Of all the cameos I have seen, I can't remember another profile facing left. I don't know why this is, but I have been collecting these cameos for so many years, that this one jumped out at me when I bought it. This lovely lady has a bit more casual hairdo, and a lovely corsage on the shoulder of her gown. The cameo itself is 1 and 1/4 inches long, by nearly 1 inch wide. The bezel adds minimally to the dimensions. The bezel is stamped, but I cannot read the Kt. It is in Very Good to Excellent ...

$450 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Cameo, Huge and Beautiful, in An Unusual Bezel

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo
This striking Cameo has an elegant woman in rich cream relief, with some deep sienna tones for shading and for the flower in her hair. The background is a rich butterscotch with some light cocoa tones. The bezel has a reticulated edging with four flowers at 12, 3, 6 and 9. The cameo is in Very Good to Excellent Condition. The bezel shows some wear. There is no marking that I can find on the bezel to know if it is, in fact, silver. The cameo herself is a huge 1 and 3/4 inches long and 1 and over ...
Very Old Necklace With Mosaic "Chai" Pendant

$250 USD Offers ConsideredVery Old Necklace With Mosaic "Chai" Pendant

Jewelry:Vintage:Old Necklace With "Chai" (Life) Pendant:Necklace:Life:Chai:Pendant:Vintage
I am honestly not sure how to describe this. My mother passed away 4 years ago at age 91, and this is one of her belongings that she had for many years. The necklace, as you can see, is broken. The pendant is a Chai, or "Life" in Hebrew. It has a textured surface on the side that appears to be some type of mosaic, and is scratched on the other side. No markings on the metal of the pendant. The necklace is 19 inches long. The pendant is about 1 and 1/4 inches high and nearly 1 and 1/2 inch across ...

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo
This charming cameo depicts a well dressed woman in dark ivory relief with a bit of cinnamon highlight in her hair. The background ranges from a misty cream to butterscotch. She has an interesting adornment in her hair that is very subtle. Very nice translucency. It is in Very Good Condition. The cameo itself is 1 and 1/4 inches by over 1 inch. The bezel is 1 and 1/2 inches by 1 and 1/4 inch. Bezel has not been tested, so we have priced this without consideration to possible value of the bezel.

$1,500 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Huge Mythological Hand-Carved Shell Cameo, "Euterpe with Angel" - Gold Bezel

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo:Euterpe With Angel:Mythology
This is an incredible cameo...a background of light to dark peach tones with the carved area in the richest cream color. This is very well-carved with excellent detail. Even the feathers of the little angels wings, as well as the folds of Euterpe's gown are exact. The condition of this cameo is good considering the age. There is a slight crack or flaking at the bottom, just at and to the right of center. No chips or other cracks. It could use a cleaning, which I have never done. The frame is ...

Elegant and Beautiful Finely Carved Cameo, 19th Century

$650 USDElegant and Beautiful Finely Carved Cameo, 19th Century

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Carved, Cameo
This lovely cameo has a wonderful deep orange color, and the relief is an off-white color. The detail is quite good, a woman's bust with a grape cluster and leaves in her hair. The bezel is hand scrolled metal with gold wash. Some wear on the outside edge, but the cameo is in Excellent Condition. The entire pin measures almost 1 and 1/2 inches long by over 1 inch wide; the cameo itself measures a bit over 1 inch long by 3/4 inch wide. This is a truly elegant accessory.
Victorian Hardstone Cameo in 15kt Gold Bezel Pin

$1,500 USDVictorian Hardstone Cameo in 15kt Gold Bezel Pin

Jewelry:Antique:Victorian Hardstone Cameo:Cameo:Hardstone:Cameo:Pin
This is a perfect hardstone cameo, 1 inch across in a lovely 15 kt gold setting with secure catch for the pin. The carving is so lovely; the woman's head appears in beautiful relief; the graceful lines of her hair are obviously carved by hand, rather than on a machine. The carving is so delicate that parts of her hair are almost transparent. Hardstone cameos are nearly always a good deal more expensive than shell cameos, because the material is more costly and it is much more difficult to carve. ...
