This large, dual-function jewelry piece serves as both a pendant and a brooch. The central focus is a hand-carved shell cameo depicting an allegorical scene of the Three Graces in high relief against a brownish-tan ground. The three female figures are portrayed in classical drapery, captured in a dancing pose with interconnected arms. The cameo is secured within a heavy, ornate 18 carat yellow gold frame featuring intricate openwork filigree and granulated decorative borders. The reverse of the piece is equipped with a long brooch pin featuring a revolving safety clasp. A large, decorative pendant bale is attached to the top by a hinge, allowing it to fold down when the piece is worn as a brooch. The back of the shell bears an incised signature. A 750 mark is stamped into the back of the pendant bale. Height: Approx 5.5 cm
