Carved Shell Cameo 10-karat Gold Frame Pin Brooch 1910s 1920s Italy 1x1.25 in

This elegant Italian cameo, from 1910’s or 1920’s. She has a rose threaded into her hair, and she’s a bit on the plump side. The cameo is set into a delicately made hallmarked 10K frame with a fold over clasp. The frame is hand-formed around the cameo with a twisted edge. The clasp was out of use by the time the Depression started, so she’s definitely been around a while. The brooch measures 1 x 1/4 inches.
