Antique Victorian Style 10k 12k Gold Carved Shell Cameo Floral Leaf Motif Brooch
Antique Victorian Style 10k 12k Gold Carved Shell Cameo Floral Leaf Motif Brooch - Preowned. This brooch is in decent condition with some signs of wear. There is light surface wear, and some light patina most notably on the flower and leaves. It seems there used to be black enamel on the brooch, but is almost entirely worn out. The flower and the leaves at the top wiggle.

The fastening for these leaves and flower is loose on the backside, but has not come apart. The shell is slightly lopsided in its setting, but does not wiggle around and seems sturdy. The leaf on the right side extending from the body of the brooch seems to have been soldered back on (check 3rd & 4th photo). The piece seems to resemble a Victorian style, but the clasp is maybe from the 1920s or 30s. When I acid tested the brooch, the 14k acid did not completely disappear, but it faded.

Hence why I believe it is somewhere around 10k - 12k. Check my other listings for more Vintage Jewelry & Collectibles.
