Retro Sterling Pearl Cameo Pendant / Brooch
 
The perfect gift for that vintage loving lady in your life.  In excellent condition this cameo has NO cracks or breaks to shell or metal work.  Pin and lock are in perfect working order.  A light gold wash still remains on the rope accent and on the back frame and pin.  Fine detailing set in a sterling frame and accented with a halo of 3mm pearls.  The lovely lady that sits to the center has her hair pulled up with an Edwardian head piece sitting forward allowing curls to frame her delicate face.  She is wearing a toga style dress with one shoulder exposed.  Can be worn on a coat, thick sweater, hat, bag or as a collar pin.  Cameos are become bar far the favorite for a bride's "something old" to use as a bouquet adornment or to cover their dress bustle button when the train is down. This would make a lovely gift for a graduation, anniversary, birthday, retirement or for loss of a loved one.

Shell stimulates intuition, sensitivity, imagination and adaptability. It helps to enhance mental clarity and provides insight into decision-making. Shell promotes cooperation between the self and others, as well as within the self. It provides cohesive energy for groups.
 
Silver assists in increasing perception and helps to regulate emotional and intuitive energies. It provides for a very strong connection between the physical and astral bodies. Silver can be used as a mirror to the soul, one to stimulate seeing oneself from outside of the body.
