10K GOLD ITALIAN SHELL CAMEO PENDANT BROOCH 6.9 GMS PREWAR VINTAGE TUCSON ESTATE

Description: From a Tucson estate some years ago and a classical ornament of decidedly PreWar persuasion is this well crafted 10K yellow gold Italian pendant brooch with oval carved shell cameo. The earlier 20th Century "purity" of design here is especially appealing, with the classical female depiction forming a perfect foil for the decorative gold work. This looks nothing like the more recent cameos found in Italy today - the work is better, being instead firmly rooted within a 19th Century aesthetic model. The gold is also not that thin stuff used on modern renditions (beware those large newer cameos offered that weigh less than this one). There a clear "10K" to the early style locking clasp as proper. Weight is good for the form at about 6.9 grams on my portable digital scale. Condition is quite good though not absolutely perfect, with a nice aura of time to the gold surfaces and a good look to the cameo. A tight faint internal line off the point of the left shoulder can be seen when held to the light - this unobtrusive mention shows more clearly at right verso when held at an angle, and may have been there when originally set. The folding swivel pendant loop and pin and locking clasp are all good to go. There are otherwise just usual and expected signs of previous ornamental duty as evidence of a genuine history. A look at the pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition - in my mind, a superior alternative to current mall dross. Size is about 1 5/16in. vertical on the dangle including the folding swivel pendant loop. The oval gold cameo mount is about 1 5/32 in. vertical and 15/16 in. horizontal. I'm not sure what else to say, so there you are. inkfrog terapeak
