Florenza three-dimensional flower frame shell relief dual-purpose brooch pendant - American antique jewelry Vintage

Cameo, carved from shells, became popular in the jewelry industry in Europe in the 19th century. In fact, the original meaning of Cameo refers to the art of relief "made by utilizing the color difference between the bottom layer and the carved surface." Therefore, reliefs made of shells, agate, volcanic lava, mother-of-pearl and other materials can all be called Cameo. Napoleon can be said to be an important driving force behind why shell reliefs became such a popular item. As a big fan of standard shell reliefs, the crown given to Queen Josephine by Napoleon in 1809 was an exquisite Cameo work, which is still preserved in the Swedish royal family. Since then, there has been a tradition of using Cameo crowns as wedding accessories. . Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria of England were also fans of shell reliefs, making Cameo extremely prosperous among the upper class society. ． Until fashion jewelry became popular in the 20th century, many brands also added elements of shell relief to their works. And Florenza, which is famous for its revival style, will naturally not be missed. The three-dimensional carved pedestal is very sophisticated and gorgeous, and is embellished with small imitation beads, making the relief lady in the center the focus. The overall color has the softness of light orange coral, which is very gentle. The object has a hook and can be worn through a necklace as a pendant, which is both beautiful and practical😍💕 ・ ・ 〖Florenza〗 Florenza was founded in New York in 1937.
