**Rope Necklace with Large Vintage Victorian-Style Cameo – Pendant and Brooch in 925 Sterling Silver Plated with Yellow Gold** Elegant and refined women's necklace featuring a **large hand-carved natural shell cameo**, inspired by the romantic charm and elegance of Victorian-era jewelry. The centerpiece is a stunning, generously sized oval cameo, featuring a refined raised carving depicting a **woman's profile with an elaborate hairstyle**, adorned with curls, floral details, and delicate ornaments. The female figure, carved in the shell's ivory-white tones, emerges elegantly from the natural brown background, creating a captivating color contrast that highlights the depth and precision of the carving. The hair is particularly intricately worked, styled in soft curls and decorated with small flowers. The delicate face, the necklace carved around the neck, and the floral bouquet accompanying the bust attest to the extraordinary attention to detail found in the carving tradition of Torre del Greco. **The 925 sterling silver setting, plated with yellow gold,** features a refined ornamental twisted-cord border that frames the cameo, enhancing its classic character and Victorian style. The piece is completed by an elegant **45 cm rope-style chain**, featuring a twisted design that adds shimmer and movement. **TWO-IN-ONE: PENDANT AND BROOCH** One of the most appealing features of this creation is its versatility.
