Vintage cameo brooch made of gold metal, dated circa 1930.
The piece features a female profile in relief carved from natural shell, framed by a ring of small golden spheres and an octagonal structure of faceted lines with a geometric finish.
The contrast of warm tones, between the orange background of the shell and the gold of the frame, gives it a distinctly decorative character.
The closure is a pin with a side pressure closure, fully functional and in keeping with its era.
This type of cameo was common in sentimental jewelry of the 20th century, linked to the fashion of the female silhouette as an emblem of timeless elegance.
Ideal as a collector's item, to complement a neo-retro look, or as a gift with a historical touch.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
