30s/40s Lyrical Lady Shell Cameo Pendant Or Brooch
Her setting is marked "G Silver"==which is actually not silver at all. German silver is a copper alloy made with zinc (sometimes known as zinc silver). I personally believe that this lady deserves 24K gold, but this is how she came to me, and she's lovely. A good size, too (see measurements above).
Condition is vintage very good to excellent. The only flaw I can see is that her pin is a bit bent. It still functions just fine.
Fun fact: True shell cameos are translucent and stay cool to the touch when you hold them--unlike resin, which is usually thicker and warms up when touched. Natural shell is curved on the back, while resin tends to be flat. Both can be beautiful, but now you know a few ways to tell the difference ...
From a nonsmoking, pet-positive environment.
Thank you for looking!
