Description

Antique Cameo Pendant Necklace from the Late 19th Century. A stunning antique cameo pendant, dated to the late 19th century, made from a very early plastic material (likely celluloid), one of the first molded materials in history. The cameo, in a beautiful warm amber hue, features a delicately molded female profile. The pendant measures approximately 3 × 2 cm and shows a lovely patina, with some signs of aging (internal micro-cracks and a slight whitish area), typical of the very first period plastics. These features give it a unique and authentic charm. It is mounted on its original slightly oxidized metal chain — a patina that I have intentionally kept as it highlights its historical character. The total length of the necklace is about 35.2 cm. A rare and charming piece that tells the story of the aesthetics of the Belle Époque and the beginnings of costume jewelry. Ideal for collectors, vintage enthusiasts, or to add a touch of retro elegance to a modern outfit. Antique, unique piece: a must-have. Condition: Pre-owned: An item that has been worn...
