Cameo Brooch
A young woman’s image is carved in great detail into the shell cameo of this beautiful brooch. Framed in a gold, foliate pattern, this piece represents a classic example of the Art Nouveau style, a global artistic movement that peaked around the turn of the 20th century and was characterized by its organic and plant-inspired motifs.
