Hand-Carved Mother of Pearl Cameo – Unset.

This beautiful vintage cameo is hand carved from luminous mother of pearl, displaying the soft iridescent glow that makes this material so prized in cameo carving. The carving is wonderfully detailed and depicts a graceful lady in right-facing profile, executed in a classical style reminiscent of antique Victorian and Edwardian cameos.

Her flowing hair is deeply carved with delicate texture, and she is adorned with a bouquet of flowers at her shoulder, adding a romantic touch to the composition. One particularly charming detail is the tiny chandelier drop earring she is wearing, showing the skill and attention to detail of the artisan who carved her.

The cameo has lovely depth, with the relief standing beautifully against the smooth oval background of the shell.

Because the piece is currently unset, it offers wonderful possibilities for a collector or jewellery designer.

Perfect for:
• Creating a statement ring.
• Mounting as a brooch or pendant.
• A bespoke jewellery project.
• Or simply adding to a cabinet of curiosities collection.
