Vintage 9ct Yellow Gold Cameo Pendant / Brooch - Varese Italy


Collections: Sold Archive






Charming vintage combination pendant and brooch Cameo manufactured in Varese Italy and stamped as such.

Crafted in 9ct yellow gold and featuring a lovely carved shell cameo of a young woman in profile with dainty features, flowers in her hair and pretty pendeloque earrings!

The surrounding solid gold frame is accented with a fine rope twist border and to the verso is a hinged bale, which can be hidden if wearing as a brooch, and the brooch pin and double C clasp fitting.

Dating we believe to around the 1970’s or thereabouts this particularly pretty Cameo looks just beautiful on your favourite chain or collar.
