Set in a substantial rolled gold frame with four decorative claw settings holding the shell securely at each compass point, it sits on the lapel with the kind of presence that does not need to announce itself. The carving is exceptional: a classical female portrait in deep, confident relief, her hair swept back in loose, flowing waves with each individual strand rendered in fine, precise lines that catch the light differently as the piece moves. Her profile is clean and composed, her drapery falling softly at the shoulder in layered folds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is stamped R.G., the period marking for rolled gold, a thick layer of gold bonded over a base metal core, more durable and more substantial than gold plate, and the frame carries that quality: warm, even, and beautifully preserved. The C-pin clasp functions exactly as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the Crown Relics Collection: the rarest and most considered pieces in the Vault, curated for the collector who knows exactly what they are looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Particulars:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Natural shell cameo, rolled gold frame with four-claw setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarkings: Stamped R.G. on reverse (rolled gold)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Oval brooch, high-relief classical female portrait, four-claw frame, C-pin clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Victorian \/ Edwardian cameo \/ classical portrait \/ antique collector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Crown Relics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent antique condition.
