Description

Shell cameo pendant necklace concealing a hidden surprise -- flip it over and a working Swiss-made watch (marked appears to be Honton or similar) is revealed on the back, suspended on a chunky gold-tone rope chain. The cameo itself is a beautifully carved shell portrait of a classical woman in profile, set in a textured twisted gold-tone bezel. A true conversation piece that doubles as a timepiece. Condition appears good with typical vintage wear.

Large ornate gold-tone filigree brooch featuring a carved shell cameo set against a deep red-orange background, depicting a classical woman with flowing hair in elegant profile. The brooch setting is a dramatic sunburst-style filigree with floral and fan motifs radiating outward. A bold statement piece with excellent visual presence. Condition appears very good.

Two loose unset shell cameo cabochons, both depicting classical women in profile with floral hair adornments. One is carved on a lighter cream shell, the other on a warm honey-toned shell with roses in the hair. Both show fine carving detail and appear ready for custom setting. These would make gorgeous earrings, pendants, or ring centers.

Gold-tone brooch or pendant featuring a large oval carved shell cameo depicting a classical woman in profile with flowing hair and a small bird detail at the shoulder. Set in an ornate gold-tone filigree frame with scrollwork and decorative border. Rich warm tones and finely detailed carving make this a standout piece. Condition appears very good.

Distinctive gold-tone pendant or charm featuring a clear intaglio glass cameo -- a reverse-carved portrait of a classical figure -- flanked by faux pearl accents and suspended from decorative gold-tone loops. The intaglio style is less common than traditional shell cameos and offers a delicate, translucent elegance. Pearls appear to be simulated. Condition appears good.
