Vintage brooch with a cameo of a female profile carved in traditional shell, mounted on a silver base decorated with floral filigree.

Handcrafted technique: a cameo of natural seashell, with hand-worked relief on the upper part of the shell, which enhances the contrast with the orange background. The openwork silver filigree frame features subtle flowers and spiral finials, combining elegance and technical delicacy.

This type of cameo began to gain popularity in the 19th century, especially during the Victorian era, when figures such as Empress Josephine and Queen Victoria promoted its use as brooches and pendants. The use of shell, especially the Cassis species, was associated with the tradition of the Torre del Greco workshops in Italy.

Designed for collectors and lovers of pieces with history, this brooch adds a touch of classic elegance to jackets, shawls, or hats. Wearing it evokes an emotional connection to traditional craftsmanship and timeless style.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
