Eternal blossoms for her....

This is a beautifully crafted vintage cameo gilt (14K gold over Sterling Silver) bracelet with eight expertly hand carved floral sardonyx shell cameos. Unusually long for most vintage/antique cameo bracelets we see, the total length is 7 3/4 inches (closed). It weighs 18.0 grams as it is very well crafted with support bars behind each cameo and sturdy findings. It was Italian custom made in the 1950's.

Each oval cameo is bezel set into custom fit frames which each measure 13/16" by 5/8" (20mm x 15mm). The carvings are excellently executed and well set. The makers mark shows that this bracelet was crafted in the Naples area, the cameo capital of the world. Also stamped "925".

The bracelet design includes high degree of craftsmanship and sturdiness. The cameo frames are connected by figure 8 connectors between the cameos which make the bracelet a versatile fit for all wrist sizes. This design allows the bracelet to gently curve to fit just right on your wrist.

All eight cameos are of forget-me-nots and are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. All the original findings are in place and in excellent condition with no evidence of any repairs.

The horticulture flower theme was popular in cameos as well as paintings in the last half of the 19th century. Victorians did love their gardens amassed with flowers! This theme has stood the test of time as floral cameos are still highly sought after today and this is a real beauty. On my last trip to Italy, I saw many new shell cameos with the still beloved floral designs, at extremely high prices but without the true beauty of these vintage carvings. The rarity of a fabulously carved floral cameo bracelet (either vintage or antique) in mint condition, is truly an asset to their investment value and they are beautiful attention grabbers when worn.

This is truly a beautiful cameo bracelet, with excellent design, long length (as many will be 6 inches to 6 3/4 inches) and gorgeous floral cameo carvings. It is very elegant and regal when worn.

All of our cameo jewelry arrives professionally cleaned, along with our complimentary instructions on how to keep your beautiful cameos in excellent condition for future generations. This bracelet will come elegantly gift boxed in an oak and red leather presentation case (pictured), ready for gift giving.

When the Present has to be Perfect, give a gift from the Past!

And when you find the perfect gift, you needn't worry about the perfect box. Presentation is where it's at. We know it, love it and provide it!

Always free shipping in the USA with a no hassle return policy. We want our customers to love our pieces as much as we do. If for ANY reason you do not, we are happy to refund your purchase price and the return shipping. And none of those ridiculous restocking fees at Cameo Couture. NEVER will be.
