Antique 10K Gold Hand Carved Shell Cameo Brooch Pendant 1900 JR1341

A finely hand carved shell cameo from the early 1900 era, depicting a graceful classical female profile with detailed coiffure and softly sculpted features. The cameo is mounted in a 10K gold frame tested for 10K and set against a black composite backing, likely early resin or gutta-percha, used to create strong visual contrast and depth. The mount retains its traditional C-locked clasp and hidden bale for dual brooch and pendant wear. A well preserved example of early 20th century cameo craftsmanship with full structural integrity.
