Beautiful, Highly Detailed, Signed Vintage Beau Filigree Frame Sterling Silver Hand Carved Shell Lady Cameo Brooch.

   The piece measures just over approximately 1 and 1/4 inches, or about 32 millimeters, by just under approximately 1 inch, or about 25 millimeters, wide,  and is just over roughly 5/16 of an inch, or approximately 7.9 millimeters, deep, not including the pinback. (Included is a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) Standard locking rollover pinback. A lozenge on the back is stamped, "Ster", and signed, "Beau". Weight is approximately 6 grams, which includes the shell weight, of course.

   This brooch is in very nice vintage condition. It will have the expected surface scratches and a few tiny dings to the silver from normal wear. Hand polished, but it may need further attention, as it was very tarnished when I got it. The locking pin back works and holds securely and the pin is still straight and sharp. No visible chips or cracks in the cameo portion.

   A very lovely vintage Beau Sterling silver carved shell cameo brooch. Curvy filigree surround on the tiered frame, charming detailed carving in a sweet, pretty face.  Much nicer in person than in the photos.
