The carved cameo has excellent detail in the woman’s flowing hair, facial features and clothing. Behind the figure is an especially attractive iridescent mother-of-pearl shell background displaying natural pink, green, cream and pearl tones. The cameo is surrounded by an elaborate openwork silver-tone filigree-style frame with multiple layers of scrolling and beadwork, giving the brooch a very detailed and dimensional appearance. The reverse is stamped “STERLING K.L.” IMPORTANT METAL DISCLOSURE: Although the brooch is stamped “STERLING K.L.,” the metal did not test positive for sterling silver using the seller’s testing method . Therefore, the metal is being sold as unconfirmed/non-sterling despite the stamped marking . Buyers should rely on the photographs and this disclosure when evaluating the piece. The cameo itself is believed to be genuine carved shell/mother-of-pearl based on its appearance and natural iridescence, but no laboratory material identification has been performed.
