Vintage Three Graces cameo brooch, featuring the three daughters of Zeus: Aglaia (Splendor), Euphrosyne (Mirth), and Thalia (Good Cheer). Key Features & IdentificationDesign: The "Three Graces" motif represents charm, beauty, and joy. This specific carving is often inspired by Antonio Canova's neoclassical sculptures. Material: a shell cameo, typically carved from conch or helmet shells (often called cornelian shells). Setting: The shell is bezel-set within an ornate, gold-toned frame featuring decorative rope twists and a scalloped or bow-like openwork design. Roll-over Safety Clasp: These locking mechanisms were popularized in the 1930s. While the motif is antique, the presence of a safety roll-over clasp suggests this particular brooch is likely a Victorian Revival piece from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1980s) rather than a true 19th-century antique.
