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. ...

$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 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

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 ...

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.

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.
Antique Huge Mythological Hand-Carved Shell Cameo, "Euterpe with Angel" - Gold 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 ...

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

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.
