Vintage Blue Cameo Pendant Necklace

Description:
A white classical profile rises from a soft cornflower-blue ground, the same quiet palette as Wedgwood jasperware. The oval sits in a serrated bezel inside a hand-twisted silver-tone rope frame, all hung from a faceted serpentine chain from the 1970s–1980s, a period when cameos returned as everyday romantic pieces. Small and light, it sits just below the collarbone and layers easily under pearls or a longer drop.

Materials:
Silver-tone metal, molded cameo
