This beautiful Art Deco era cameo brooch (c. 1920s–1930s) is beautifully hand-carved from sardonyx shell, prized for its contrasting layers of creamy white against a warm apricot background. The carving depicts a classical lady in profile, her hair swept up and adorned with flowers, the detailing crisp and refined. The cameo is set within a rolled gold frame of twisted rope design, typical of the period, giving it both durability and a luxurious golden finish. It is a beautiful and timeless addition to any collection of vintage jewelry.
Trombone clasp.
