Exquisitely Carved Antique Cameo, in Gorgeous and Unusual Bezel, Pendant or Pin

Antique & Vintage 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 inch wide. The bezel is over 1 and 1/2 inches long by by 1 and 1/2 inches across.
