Early hand tooled shell... PORTRAIT cameo brooch....of a sweet young girl. Realistic details...CRISP. Naturally domed shell...excellent color contrast and fine polished finish. Better quality than most! I love this unusual heavy silver mount. Dozens tiny flowers with tiny marcasite center. Gives a scalloped look. On the back there are markings 835 and silver. 835 is European silver. Measures 1 3/4" x 1 1/2". In excellent condition.
