Vintage Italian Hand Carved Rose Floral Shell Cameo Brooch Pendant 800 Silver

Available for purchase is a beautiful vintage Italian shell cameo that functions as both a brooch pin and a necklace pendant. Hailing from Italy's historic artisan carving workshops, this piece features an elegant, highly detailed hand-carved floral motif instead of a traditional portrait profile, making it a wonderful standout addition to your collection.  The centerpiece features a genuine, hand-carved natural conch shell cabochon depicting a dimensional blooming rose bouquet with intricate petals and leaves emerging from a warm, honey-apricot background. The oval cameo is securely housed within a classic .800 continental silver bezel frame finished with a rich yellow gold vermeil wash and accented by a delicate twisted rope border. The reverse side features a dual-purpose configuration with a secure pinback mechanism and an integrated bail for a necklace chain.
