Antique Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Cameo Pendant w/ Gold Wash
This exquisite antique cameo pendant showcases the beauty of Art Nouveau design. Marked “Sterling” on its bale, this piece weighs approximately 4.3 grams and measures about 1 1/2″ from the top of the bale x 1 1/8″ wide. The intricate openwork setting is adorned with remnants of a bright gold wash, adding a touch of warmth to the design. The focal point is a beautifully carved shell cameo featuring the profile of a lovely young lady with upswept hair, a draped bodice, and flowers delicately placed in her hair and at her shoulder. This charming pendant, while showing signs of wear consistent with age, remains in nice condition and is ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
