Vintage Conch Shell & Sardonyx Cameo Brooch Lot

Vintage Conch Shell & Sardonyx Cameo Brooch Lot

This is a beautiful and collectible lot of vintage cameos, each showcasing the intricate art of cameo carving. The lot includes cameos carved from two different types of shell, providing a lovely contrast in color and detail. One cameo is crafted from a pink princess conch shell, known for its delicate pink and white layers. Another is carved from a sardonyx shell, which has a distinct reddish-brown or chocolate-brown background with a pure white foreground, creating a striking contrast that highlights the carving.

Three of the cameos are signed by the carver, a mark of quality and artistry that makes them particularly valuable to collectors. This lot is perfect for a collector, a jewelry designer, or someone who appreciates the history and craftsmanship of hand-carved shell art. The variety of colors and subjects in this group makes for a compelling display or a great starting point for a new project.
