Cameos have been favorite human adornments since the days of the Pharaohs of Egypt. So I’m sure cameo wearing jewelry has been around for just as long.This classic piecefeatures a carved genuine shell cameo depicting a lovely silhouetteof a womanwith curly hair facing left. The lady is carved in off white on asalmon colored background. This cameo is en habillé, wearing a petite genuinediamond necklace pendant. The oval cameo is securely prong set. A classic pieceof fine vintage jewelry, circa 1930s! Sz 6 1/2Weight: 4.1dwt, 6.4g Haveyou ever seen a cameo pendant or brooch in which the subject is actuallywearing a pendant or a brooch? These cameos are habille’ cameos. “Habille’” is a French word. (Habille’is prounounced (ah-bee-yeh) inFrench ) Paired with theword, “cameo”, it means a dressed cameo, or a cameo wearing jewelry. Also, note that the term “cameo habille’” refers toa cameo actually adorned with detachable jewelry such as a sterling silver collar with adiamond pendant. These are the most frequently seen and were verypopular in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
