A quintessential example of mid-twentieth-century Victorian Revival costume jewelry, this horizontal cameo brooch captures a classical maternal motif. The piece centers on a frosted, translucent inset molded to depict a mother and child resting in a pastoral setting. Often categorized as faux camphor glass or molded resin, the subtle opacity of the central figures contrasts beautifully with the translucent golden-hued background when held to the light. An ornate, stamped gold-tone metal frame with scrolling foliate designs anchors the piece, secured by a standard rollover safety clasp indicative of the 1970s era. With current physical gold spot prices driving heightened interest in well-preserved vintage gold-tone alternatives, this decorative piece presents an excellent opportunity for collectors of classical revival jewelry.
