Antique 14k Yellow Gold Shell Cameo Pin Pendant

Description

You are bidding on an Antique 14k Yellow Gold Shell Cameo Pin Pendant.
This lovely pendant is one of the many items from our relative's estate.  It measures approx.  2 1/8" x 1 3/4".
Cameos are not our area of expertise.
There isn't a gold mark on the pendant, but we took it to a jeweler and was told that it was gold. You can see that there is a loop on the back so that it can be used as a pin or pendant. The latch for the pin is one that we have never seen before.  We found a reference to this type of clasp on the internet. It was identified as an early hand made safety catch.
Please see photo #s 3 & 4  for detailed images.  Photo # 3 shows the safety in the open position. #4 shows it in the closed position. Notice that what looks to be half way is actually closed.
You need to delicately push the clasp down, which enables the pin to release in a downward motion. We will ship the pin in the closed position.
Please examine photos carefully and ask questions before bidding. The item is being sold “As Is”. Please bid only if you intend to pay.
We accept PayPal and expect payment within 2 days after end of auction. Package will be mailed within 2 business days, weather permitting, after payment is received.
