Vintage Avon Gold-Tone Cameo Stick Pin with Seed Pearl Accents and Bullet Clasp

A carved carnelian-tone cameo — a woman's profile in white relief — sits within a delicate branch-and-twig frame accented by four seed pearls. The form reaches back through centuries of mourning and portrait jewelry, here rendered in warm gold-tone with Avon's characteristic care. The bullet clasp keeps it secure at a lapel, scarf, or collar. A piece that carries the weight of a much older tradition.
