Based on the release mechanism of the safety clasp, I'm dating this cameo pendant/brooch as being circa 1930s. The profile is unique with the thick curls adorning the head.
Measurements are 1 3/4 x 1 1/4" (at its widest.) I suspect the setting is vermeil but I cannot be certain. The piece has not been tested and is unmarked.
The cameo portion is carved shell. When examined with a loupe, one can see the carving on the profile. This as well as the transparency of the piece is indicative of shell composition. The transparency alone is not always an indicator of shell as plastics can mimic this, and the profile can be comprised of Bakelite.
Thank you for looking.
