This circa 1920s cameo brooch pendant features a detailed floral portrait framed in 14K white gold. The woman's flowing curls, surrounding blossoms, and softly draped clothing stand out in cream-colored relief against a warm peach background.
A miniature necklace with a clear stone accent adds a distinctive finishing touch to the portrait. Intricate openwork, scrolling details, and fine beaded edging surround the cameo, while a rear pin and fold-down pendant bail allow it to be worn as a brooch or pendant.
