This shell cameo brooch features a beautifully sculpted portrait of a woman. It belonged to my grandmother, but the brooch pin is broken and I haven't been able to repair it, so I've kept it carefully stored away! I believe it's a rather large shell cameo! It's very beautiful, so would be perfect for someone who can repair it or for use in handmade crafts. I heard it was quite expensive when it was originally purchased. Thank you for looking.
