Antique Victorian Shell Cameo Brooch Pendant | Bohemian Garnet Halo | 900 Silver Gilt | c.1870–1900

Authentic late Victorian cameo brooch pendant crafted in 900 silver with original gold plating and set with a rich halo of natural Bohemian garnets. The hand carved shell cameo depicts a classical female profile in high relief, showing crisp detail and depth typical of fine 19th century Central European workmanship.

Designed for dual wear, this piece retains its original C clasp pin and hinged pendant bail, allowing it to be worn as either a brooch or necklace. The hand-forged pin, closed back garnet settings, and continental silver mark confirm true antique origin.

A refined and collectible antique, combining traditional cameo carving with the distinctive warmth of Bohemian garnet jewelry.
