Pink conch shell cameos are ever mounting in popularity among collectors. This simple gold and pearl lavaliere is set centrally with a delightful long cameo of pink conch shell. The powder pink hue seems startling to find in nature, but is very much one of the sea's honest gifts to 19th-20th c craftspeople. This dulcet example would be an excellent addition for anyone interested in the pastel palate that was so beloved at this moment.
