Description: Antique Cameo: late 1910s /20s Carved Shell Cameo Open Metalwork Frame Ornate Bale CAMEO with attached ornate BALE only (no necklace).. Cameo itself: ~ 1 1/4" (excluding attached jump ring and bale)Cameo including jump ring and bale ~ 1 11/16" tallCameo at widest ~ 1 1/16" In good to very good antique condition. Signs of normal wear due to age noted.No issues impacting wear. Frame is open metalwork. Frame metal possibly low content silver (frame is slightly magnetic). Frame does not test positive for sterling silver or for white gold.Framework is a simple filigree design consisting of circles. Cameo is hand-carved shell, which is translucent when held up to light. Ornate, heart shaped bale (with what looks like a leaf design) is not magnetic (but scratches silver and copper color, so most likely heavy silver plated). Woman has a short hairdo and is wearing a Cloche hat (first made in 1908, very popular ~ 1922-1933). I was told it was made at a jewelry manufacturing company in Fall River, Rhode Island (see description below): From the family of the original owner of this cameo, a good friend. Her grandmother, who worked at a jewelry manufacturer in Fall River, Rhode Island for an unknown duration but for certain during 1915/1916, gave this to her mother who gave it to her daughter, my friend, when she was a child. She is quite sure that this cameo was made at that factory. I could be off by a couple of years but based on what I was told and the design of the cameo and the woman depicted,I think it is possible that the cameo stems from the mid 1910s to the early / mid 1920s.
