Cameo Jewelry

Okay, so. This cameo brooch is almost certainly Italian, and almost certainly from the 1800s. Unfortunately, I did a terrible thing and apparently didn’t save the info that goes with it. And there is no way to do an image analysis search because I didn’t grab it online. :| *infinite facepalm* So if anyone has an artist or source for this cameo, please feel free to add it. I had been saving it for the last 1800s Week, but alas, my digging turned up nothing. It is, however, remarkable, and I still wanted to put it out there.

Beautiful cameo locket!!! The cameo is a gorgeous lily of the valley. Stunning colors, each cameo is individually hand painted and antiqued, each an original!!! The bronze ans silver plated lockets are victorian style with beautiful scroll on both the front and back about 2" long. They can hold two photos or a treasured keepsake. Pass down from generation to generation!!! The bronze locket includes a 24" adjustable rolo link chain with a lobster claw clasp, and the silver includes a 22" .925 silver plated 1.2mm snake chain!!! Perfect for Brides or Bridal parties. Makes a unique memorable gift for any occasion!!! Timeless classic look, both casual or formal, !!!! Thanks so very much for looking and please do visit my shop!!! Lisa
