Abalone grows in only a few shorelines in the world. The angel carved from this piece chose well.
An oval brooch and pendant in one — the angel cameo is carved from what we believe to be genuine abalone shell, based on the distinctive iridescence visible on the reverse. Set in a gold-tone oval disc (possibly gold-filled, though we cannot confirm). The pin has a safety clasp and a hook on the back for wearing as a pendant. The shifting colors of abalone — green, blue, pink, pearl — make each viewing slightly different depending on the light. Unbranded. Excellent condition, no issues. Multiple photos taken to show the full range of iridescent tones.
A beautiful gift for the cameo collector, the natural materials lover, or anyone who appreciates jewelry with an otherworldly quality.
Style: Oval brooch / pendant dual-wear; safety clasp and pendant hook
