Product Description
BEAUTIFUL, ITALIAN, OVAL, HAND CRAFTED, LADY'S PORTRAIT CAMEO PIN PENDANT. Bezel set in a unique 925 Sterling Silver with18k Yellow Gold Overlay, half round frame, the cameo measures 27 mm (1.09 inches from top to bottom) 22 mm (0.86 Inches) from right to left, and will be a stunning accessory for your wardrobe. Sea shell cameos are made only in Torre del Greco, near Naples, in Italy. They are created by hand carving individual pieces of double layered sea shells with a steel burin. The artisan attaches the selected piece to the end of a dub stick using special glue. He then begins carving from the softer outer layer which permits the incision of a face or figure, working toward the glassy inner layer which is then cleaned using a rotating brush rendering it shiny. This is an antique art passed on from the Greeks to the Romans which today requires a five to six year apprenticeship to become, given that one has the necessary talent, a master artisan. Black and white sea shells, Cassis Madagascariensis or Sardonic (Sardonyx), come from the Caribbean while the ivory colored shells, called Cassis Rufa or Corniola (Carnelian), come from Madagascar. Each precious cameo is a unique hand made object, an ideal gift of lasting beauty, not a fleeting fad. Note: With time, a cameo may collect dust diminishing its beauty. A soft bristled brush, lukewarm water and neutral soap are all that s needed to restore its original splendor. Recapture the spirit of youth with this beautiful hand carved, Italian, shell cameo pin pendant. Great gift or collectors item, exceptional value. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING

I had to own this remarkable work of art after seeing the classic serene beauty of the famous empress that it depicts.And with gold now at such high prices, I think I've got the bargain of the century! It looks even nicer than the picture shows. Thanks for a great buy!!!
