Antique Cameo, Huge and Beautiful, in an Unusual Silver Bezel

Jewelry : Antique : Cameo : Brooch : Huge And Beautiful 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 1 and 1/4 inches wide. The bezel is a full 2 inches long and 1 and 1/2 inches wide.
