While I try to give you the best accurate assessment of every item, all jewelry listed is antique or vintage and is NOT expected to be like new. All items should be expected to have light to moderate wear on all components and findings, even if it can't be seen with the naked eye.  All jewelry listed is inspected very carefully by me, a certified antique and vintage jewelry appraiser, and is considered to be in very clean and well cared for vintage condition and reflected in the price of the item.  As I am currently selling off my 50-year lifelong jewelry and other antique collections, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.  I've been selling antique and vintage jewelry and other wares online since 1986 from my own site . My jewelry has been featured in many antique and vintage jewelry books. I have collaborated on the publication of several vintage costume jewelry books as well. I also serve as an authority as a jewelry appraiser on several high-end auction sites.  Inspection at different assessment levels and under different lighting and magnification can be difficult to assess, describe, and grade. For this reason, I provide many clear photos and my best assessment of gentle handling, wear, or other imperfections. I also do not guarantee the future functionality of all antique and vintage clips, hooks, clasps, and closures. All are tested prior to shipping and in good working order.  Photos may appear to make jewelry and other objects larger than they are. Please note dimensions in description below.  Description ~  Made in the 1950s, this rather large milk glass and black rhinestone cameo brooch is a very impressive monochromatic design, and it is a left facing cameo. It is designer signed Dodds.  Dodds only made jewelry for about 10 years from around 1950 to 1960. Their signed jewelry is uncommon to find and highly collectible. Also, this is THE most desirable large brooch Dodds ever made because of the monochromatic design.  The brooch is made of silver rhodium metal with individual pierced settings around each of the SUPER sparkling black rhinestone chatons that make up the frame. The left facing Victorian lady cameo is made of satin matt black glass atop a background of high gloss milk glass. The cameo setting is framed with a silver rhodium rope style frame.  Probably one of the largest vintage cameos you will ever see, this brooch is a large hand full at 2 1/2" tall" x 2" 1/ 8"" wide. You can get a better indication of the size looking at the brooch in my hand. The entire brooch is in excellent pristine clean well cared for condition. All of the black rhinestones are original, present, and very brilliant with sharp facets. The milk glass and the black glass cameo are great as well with no scratches, scuffs, or chips. The silver rhodium metal is like new with no lack of brilliance.  The back of the brooch is finished in textured silver/light yellow gold rhodium and the original fine working safety clasp is in place. The back also has the DODDS or DODDZ cartouche.   Comes gift wrapped and shipped in a luxury presentation brooch box. Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
