Vintage 10 Carat Gold-Filled Shell Cameo Cocktail Ring - A vintage cameo cocktail ring featuring an oval hand-carved shell profile of a woman. Size M-1/2. The cameo is executed in a traditional two-tone style, with a creamy-white figure set against a natural peach-toned ground, showing the natural curvature and layering characteristic of shell material. The carving is secured in a yellow-tone collet setting, embellished with a decorative twisted-rope wire border. The shank is designed with split shoulders that transition into a wrap-around adjustable band. The interior of the band features a rectangular impressed mark reading 10K, though the significant surface wear and oxidation suggest this refers to a gold-filled or gold-plated finish rather than solid gold. No other maker marks or hallmarks are visible.
