Product Details

This item is a vintage multi-panel cameo necklace, most likely crafted between the 1920s and 1940s. Key Characteristics * Material: The individual oval panels feature hand-carved silhouettes. The dark, iridescent background sheen indicates they are specifically carved from black mother-of-pearl or a similar dark shell composite. * Metalwork: The setting is composed of antiqued base metal or tarnished silver. The decorative twisted-wire or beaded bezels surrounding each panel are classic markers of Mediterranean, Italian, or European revival costume jewelry from the early-to-mid 20th century. * Design Motif: Each individual panel showcases a classic right-facing Greco-Roman female which was a highly popular romantic theme during the Art Deco and Retro eras.
