Vintage Divelle 1/20 12K Gold Filled Carved Shell Cameo Brooch and Pendant

This mid-century carved shell cameo carries the Divelle maker’s mark, a jewelry manufacturer recognized for elegant, accessible gold-filled designs of the era. The piece highlights a classic right-facing profile, intricately carved from natural shell to utilize the material's inherent color variations. Set into a 1/20 12K gold-filled framework, the mounting serves a dual purpose with a folding bail for necklace wear and a roll-over clasp for use as a pin. A textured rope-twist bezel frames the portrait, demonstrating the careful craftsmanship typical of mid-20th-century estate jewelry.
