About the Item

A beautifully preserved vintage mid-20th century Italian cameo ring, crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and showcasing a finely hand-carved shell cameo portrait. The cameo features classic detail in the hair, neckline, and silhouette, framed in an ornate openwork gold bezel that adds dimension and elegance. Measuring 23mm tall, this piece offers a bold, timeless presence on the hand while maintaining the softness that collectors value in authentic shell cameos. The ring is fully crafted in 18K gold, weighing 4.2 grams, and is currently sized 8.25. This is a genuine vintage piece — not a modern reproduction — reflecting the craftsmanship and artistry of mid-century Italian jewelry workshops. Elegant, wearable, and highly collectible.
