Pretty 14K Yellow Gold Openwork Hand Carved Cameo of a Young Woman Pin Pendant
Regular price
$410.40
Presented is a pretty carved shell cameo pin mounted in a 14K gold setting. The
cameo is beautifully carved in wonderful high relief to depict a classical young
woman in side profile. Her beautifully curled hair is in a fancy updo with two
triangular headbands. The cameo is securely bezel-set in an elegant 14K gold
mounting with lovely metal openwork in regular, arched patterns. The pin has a
hinged bale on the reverse so that it also can be worn as a pendant. This pin
was undoubtedly made in Europe, probably in the 1950s or 1960s.
The pin is stamped 585 on the back, which is the European way of indicating
14K gold. We have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be 14K gold.
The condition is excellent. There are no chips, no cracks, no splits, no
breaks and no repairs.
The pin is about 1 3/8 inches long and 1 1/8 inches wide.
The pin weighs 7.0 grams.
