Description
Somwhat High relief Cameo I purchased a few years ago when I fell in love with it. it is very pale pink with greek looking lady with curly hair. The hair is very detailed and thick. The brooch appears to be gold with three jewels(possibly diamond but not sure?) set into little flowers. The frame of the brooch is very delicate and sadly slightly bent possibly from being worn in the past. I collect Cameos and this is one the most unique I have found in my area.

Medium
I am guessing shell or possibly stone since the back is more flat and the cameo a more uniform color. could also be bone? Material is cool to the touch with some tiny scratches and possible tools marks. brooch appears to be gold with possible diamonds.
Distinguishing marks
can not find name but I haven't looked at it under magnification. It does have a gold mark on the closure on the back but its rubbed off slightly and can only make out 4k. Could possibly be 14K but its very feint
