Vintage Hand-Carved Shell Cameo Brooch featuring a highly detailed nature motif.
This exquisite piece showcases a finely carved white-on-peachy pink natural shell depiction of a mother bird tending to her nest, surrounded by intricate leaves and foliage. The carving has wonderful dimension and rises elegantly from the shell background. The perfectly unique gift for a mother to be who loves vintage!
Condition: Pre-owned/Vintage. The shell is intact with no visible cracks. The metal shows minor age-appropriate wear and tarnish on the reverse, adding to its historic charm. The pin mechanism works smoothly.
