Vintage Resin Cameo Brooch in Gold-Tone Filigree Setting

This is a vintage oval-shaped brooch featuring a classic right-facing profile of a young woman carved in relief. Based on visual characteristics, the cameo is likely composed of molded resin or celluloid, simulating traditional shell carving. The bust features creamy off-white tones against a salmon-pink background. The woman is depicted with voluminous, wavy hair pulled back, wearing a draped garment. The cameo is securely held in an ornate, gold-toned metal frame. This frame showcases intricate openwork filigree with a textured finish, including linear ribbing and scalloped edges that suggest a Mid-Century costume jewelry style (circa 1950s-1970s). The metal shows significant signs of age, including a dark patina, tarnishing in the recessed areas, and some wearing away of the gold plating to reveal a darker base metal underneath. There is a visible reddish streak on the cameo's surface near the right edge which may be a surface stain or a manufacturing defect. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume vintage costume jewelry, where the cameo is glued into the prefabricated metal bezel rather than being hand-set with prongs.
