Vintage Pre-loved Claw Set Shell Cameo Ring - Size G 1/2
Carved in creamy shell against a warm apricot ground, she tips her head back mid-smile, her hair swept up in ringlets and tied with a ribbon. It's a joyful, characterful carving, and it gives the ring a personality you don't often find.
The oval cameo is held in four neat 9ct yellow gold claws, letting the full outline of the shell show. Ribbed shoulders frame it on either side, a lovely retro detail that adds structure without stealing the attention.
A small size G½, perfect for a petite finger or worn on the little finger as a stylish signet alternative. Pre-loved, full of charm, and ready to make someone smile.

What makes this cameo different?
Most cameo portraits are calm and composed. This lady is carved laughing, which makes her a genuinely unusual find.
Can I wear it on my little finger?
Yes. At size G½ it suits a petite ring finger or sits beautifully on the little finger.
Can the ring be resized?
Yes, our workshop can resize it. Message us and we'll advise.
How do I care for a shell cameo?
Keep it away from perfume, cleaning products and water. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and store it separately so harder gems can't scratch it.
Come and meet her in person at our Harrogate showroom on Cambridge Street, just a short trip from Leeds and York, or drop us a message on Instagram to book an appointment.
