Vintage Shell Cameo Brooch Pendant — Gold Tone Filigree Wire Frame Cameo — Antique Style Carved Shell Cameo
Regular price $ 42.00 Save $ -42.00A finely carved shell cameo — a classical female profile with upswept hair and draped shoulder — set within a handworked gold tone wire filigree frame of looped and scrolled construction. The frame has the character of hand-formed wire work rather than cast manufacture, giving each piece an organic, slightly irregular quality consistent with earlier production. A pendant bail at the top allows it to be worn on a chain as well as pinned. Unsigned and quietly beautiful.
Materials: Gold tone base metal, carved shell cameo

Vintage Gold Tone Mushroom Charm Pendant | Whimsical Nature Toadstool Charm 1"
Regular price $ 18.00 Save $ -18.00A small golden mushroom, quietly luminous. This vintage charm carries the playful symbolism of the forest floor — a reminder of hidden places, woodland magic, and the quiet mystery of nature.
Mushrooms have long appeared in jewelry as symbols of transformation, resilience, and the unseen networks that sustain life beneath the surface. In vintage costume pieces like this, the motif often reflected the nature-inspired design trends of the late 1960s through the 1980s.
Polished to a warm gold tone, the rounded cap and softly tapered stem give the charm a sculptural feel that catches light beautifully. Perfect worn alone on a fine chain or layered among other small talismans.
