Vintage Simmons Shell Cameo Locket Pendant Victorian Revival Cameo Pendant Antique Style Carved Shell Cameo Locket
Regular price $ 78.00 Save $ -78.00A carved shell cameo — a classical female profile with flowing hair and draped shoulder — sits centered within a richly detailed gold filled frame. Black enamel fills the engraved scrollwork surrounding the cameo, creating strong contrast against the warm gold. The shaped cartouche frame with its quatrefoil silhouette and floral base details speaks to Victorian revival sensibility, and the hollow locket back suggests it once held a photograph or lock of hair. Signed Simmons, a respected American gold filled manufacturer active from the late 19th century onward.
Materials: Gold tone, carved shell cameo, black enamel

Regular price $ 48.00 Save $ -48.00A full-figure white cameo — a woman in period dress, hat, and shawl — floats against a powder blue oval at the center of this substantial gold-tone locket, its face framed by concentric rope-twist borders in warm brushed gold. Inside, the engraved inscription reads "Honor Award / Presidents Campaign / 1966," placing this piece precisely in mid-century American corporate culture, when sales achievement awards took the form of fine-quality keepsakes meant to be worn and kept. The Wedgwood-inspired cameo format lends it a classical dignity that transcends its origins. A dateable, wearable piece of social history.
