The listing, Tiny Vintage Shell Cameo Pendant has ended.
I got two of these tiny pendants a long time ago at a yard sale. I bought these mainly to use in my own jewelry designs but since I was able to buy two, I am passing this one on to my fellow listians. I have been collecting cameos of all types for many years now and couldn't pass up buying these little pendants. As you can see from the first picture this pendant is tiny, about the same size as the penny I used to reference size, which is not included. I am pretty sure this is a hand carved shell cameo but please use your own judgement on this. It is in a gold tone brass like prong setting. It has no loop to hang it from a necklace, all though I can attach a modern one if the winner would like me to. I have not tried to clean it in any way. The 1st picture shows the front, the 2nd the back, and the 3rd is a side view. The last picture is a picture of the cameo underneath my task light on my work table. This was taken with no flash, and as you can see the cameo is some what see through, which is one of many ways to tell if a cameo is a shell cameo.
