Antique 14K White Gold Carved Shell Habillé Cameo Brooch Pendant – Lady with Diamond Necklace

agakle — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 15:23:36 +0000

Elegant antique hand-carved shell cameo featuring a classical young woman in profile with beautifully detailed flowing hair, flowers, leaves, and fruit. The carving is executed in high relief, with the creamy-white portrait standing dramatically against the warm cognac-brown shell background.

The lady wears an applied twisted gold necklace set with a sparkling clear stone, traditionally known as a habillé cameo (“dressed cameo”). The cameo is mounted in an ornate 14K gold openwork/filigree frame accented with scrolling foliate details.

A beautifully detailed example with excellent visual depth and an especially appealing subject. The applied necklace adds dimension and makes this a much more unusual piece than the standard shell portrait cameo.

Period: Likely early 20th century

Condition: Vintage/antique condition with age-appropriate wear; please review photographs

Brooch measures: 2.25 x 1.75″
