Cassis madagascariensis, Silver - Cameo - Hand-carved cameo

Beautiful brooch/pendant with a hand-engraved cameo on a Cassis Madagascariensis seashell, a splendid hand-engraved profile of a woman with a whimsical hat, echoing the iconography of 20th-century murders and the white dove turned to symbolize peace. The versatility of the jewel allows it to be worn as a brooch or as a pendant (the chain is removable and the clasp hides behind the cameo). We offer it with an elegant 925 sterling silver chain plated in gold. Cameo carved and signed by the Master Engraver of Torre del Greco, the renowned city for shell engraving. Total weight 32.60 g Cameo size 50 mm Overall dimensions including setting 54.2 mm Chain length 45 cm Classic 925 silver setting plated in gold, which lends the jewelry an elegant and refined look. It will be shipped with gift packaging and materials warranty.
