Carved MOP Shell Cameo Sterling Frame

Offered is a rather unusual vintage carved MOP shell cameo.  Unlike the more common varieties, this has been created using a different type of shell.  The iridescent mother of pearl background provides a rather soothing contrast with the carved profile. It is set in a sterling frame, and has a C clasp closure. The sharp needle extends a bit beyond the mount.  This measures 1 5/8″ x 1 1/4″ across the widest points of the oval shape.  This truly unique jewelry piece has no condition issues.
