Vintage Cameo Brooch with Faux Pearl Drop

This is a vintage cameo brooch featuring a classical female silhouette carved in relief, likely out of shell or a similar material, set against a dark background, possibly onyx or dark glass, creating a high-contrast effect. The cameo itself is oval-shaped and framed by a decorative, possibly brass or pewter-toned metal bezel that exhibits a twisted rope-like pattern. This central motif is then set within a larger, ornate metal frame with a floral or scrollwork design, characterized by a textured, aged appearance. The metal of the frame shows significant tarnishing and an uneven patina, suggesting age and potential wear. Attached to the bottom of the main brooch is a teardrop-shaped faux pearl, suspended by a small metal ring and a cap that mimics the aged appearance of the brooch's frame. The back of the brooch reveals a simple pin mechanism with a C-clasp closure, common in vintage jewelry. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures immediately visible in the provided images. The overall aesthetic points towards a Victorian or Edwardian revival style, possibly dating from the early to mid-20th century. The craftsmanship appears to be mass-produced vintage costume jewelry, indicated by the cast metal frame and the likely synthetic pearl. The condition appears to be moderately worn with visible tarnishing on the metal components and potential minor surface scratches on the cameo or pearl, though these are not clearly discernible in the images. The 'Cameo Brand' context might refer to the general type of item rather than a specific manufacturer.
