Description: Left Facing Shell Cameo Pin Pendant in 10K Lattice Frame - This cameo's female has stronger features and a less delicate feel than some, but it is nonetheless an attractive piece. Floral motif in hair. I am not sure if what is on top of the head represents part of the hairdo or something else. Classic style. 1 3/8" x 1 1/8" including frame. Item: PP3-031 Price: $145.00 US |

Description: Courting Scene Locket with Picture Inside - This porcelain transferware locket opens like a small coin purse to reveal a photo of a man inside. Octagonal frame around round locket is goldtone and measures 1 5/8" in diameter; neck chain is about 26". From the style of clothing I would date this to WWII. Opposite side of inside of locket appears to have never been used. Item: PL3-024 Price: $39.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: 10K Gold Double Cameo Ring - Two mirror image shell cameos face each other in this circa 1920's ring. At some point this ring was re-sized to a 9 1/2; setting is well done and carving is attractive. Each cameo is about 3/8" x 5/16". Item: PR3-019 Price: $110.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Large "Modern" 14K Shell Cameo Pin Pendant - At over 1 3/4" x 1 1/4" plus frame, this is not only the largest cameo I have at this writing but is also the most contemporary. Upturned nose, classically styled hair and dress do not really pin point this but would indicate post 1940. Frame is also quite simple with delicate rope style border that is encircled by a plain band. Back side says 14K and some very tiny letters that I am guessing are a hallmark of the company that produced it. Back of cameo is also "marked", perhaps by the carver - letters look to be cursive, depending on which direction you look, may be EZ or UH. My picture does not convey the loveliness of this piece you will find in person. Item: PN3-033 Price: $285.00 US |

Description: Celluloid? Over-Button Clip Cameo - This uses an unusual finding that goes around a collar button and snaps closed, putting the cameo at the wearer's throat without having to use a conventional pin-stem type clasp. I am assuming this is celluoid but as I am not super knowledgeable about plastics I am not certain. Plastic on top of brass frame. Age unknown, excellent condition, 2 1/8" x 1 3/4" x about 1/2" deep. Item: PPRLS3-661 Price: $35.00 US  |

Description: Shell Cameo in Sterling Vermeil Setting - Though modest in size and setting, this shell cameo has been nicely carved and the subject is very attractive. Upturned nose indicates a relatively recent piece (1940's?); frame is delicate and the gold wash has partially worn off, though the gold is more prevalent than the photo would indicate. Cameo is 1" x 3/4"; including frame it meausres 1 1/4" x 1". Item: PP3-029 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Right Facing 1940's? Goldfilled Shell Cameo - Though this cameo's figure is in traditional dress, the upturned nose and setting seem to me to be more of a WWII era piece. Entwined rope chain surrounds an oval 1 1/4" x 1" shell. Item: PP3-032 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Shell Cameo in Marcasite Set Sterling Dangle Setting - Done as a dangling pendant brooch with a ribbon/bow motif, this is all original and complete and in excellent shape. Marcasites appear to be bead handset; bow portion is partially pave set, while bottom has two rows of marcasites that surround a simple rope border. Shell cameo is of a woman with quite short, upswept hair, with an earring dangling from the ear. Dress has a simple v neckline with no other adornment. No later than the 1950's and probably earlier. Cameo is 7/8" x 5/8"; with frame, 1 3/16" x 1". Entire brooch is 1 1/2" x almost 2". Back of cameo frame is marked sterling and a diamond shaped logo with what appears to be GS. Item: PP3-034 Price: $89.50 US |

Description: Courting Scene Necklace - This is possibly West German post WWII production, I have seen non-courting scene jewelry made in this manner and marked W. Germany. At any rate, the couple is seated together with the man's hands clasped in supplication, begging the young woman for something! (My interpretation!) The stamped goldtone frame is set with white glass pearls and clear AB rhinestones and measures 2 1/8" x 1 1/2". Lightweight goldtone chain is about 21". Excellent condition with just a tiny scuff to one glass pearl. Item: PN3-037 Price: $17.50 US  |

Description: Glass? Angelskin Coral Look Cameo - I don't believe that this is a natural stone but there are some places that look as if there was carving done. The face, however, has been painted white, and a good deal of the painting has worn off, giving this a really distressed feeling. The hexangonal brass frame has little heart shapes. Safety pin type c clasp. Some metal darkening on the back. I somehow find this piece very appealing in a sweet, shabby chic sort of way. Probably prior to 1920. 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" including frame, at widest points. Item: PP3-035 Price: $10.00 US |

Description: Abalone and Mother of Pearl Cameo - This is a smaller pin/pendant with an abalone base, over which a mother of pearl cameo figure of a woman wearing a headdress. This appears to be handcarved, but I am not certain of what this is, whether this is a single piece or two separate pieces glued together. Frame also appears to have been hand-done, and is probably silver but there is no metal marking of any kind. 1 1/8" x 7/8". Item: PPRLS3-660 Price: $20.00 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Clear rhinestones have darkened somewhat but still have sparkle. 2 1/4" x 1 3/4", slightly domed. Item: PPRLS3-683 Price: $20.00 US |
