Vintage Pre-Loved 9ct Yellow Gold Large Shell Cameo Ring - M 1/2
This carved shell cameo shows a graceful lady in profile, her hair swept back in soft waves and pinned up into a curled crown, with a string of pearls resting at her neckline. The detail in the pearls is what makes her: each one carved individually, catching the light against the warm apricot shell.
Four 9ct yellow gold claws hold the oval cameo, keeping the outline clean and letting the carving take centre stage. Fluted fan shoulders give a lovely retro flourish from the side, a detail you'll notice every time you glance down.
A pre-loved vintage piece in a wearable size M½, elegant enough for occasions and easy enough for every day.
