Please email with any questions. Circa 1930 carved shell cameo with a 10 karate yellow gold frame. 1 7/16" by 1 1/4", pin finding stamped ESEMCO in a diamond shape, stamped "10K" underneath. Female carving subject is seen with her face in profile, her marcelled hair is either bobbed or caught up at the nape of her neck. She has a flower in her hair and another at the shoulder of her diaphanous clothing. Esemco is a trade name for Shiman Manufacturing Co, an American company. Perhap...s the company imported the carved cameos from Italy and manufactured the settings in the USA. The cameo is in a bezel setting with a tiny "beadwork" design on the top edge. The rest of the frame is gracefully designed with a shell on each compass point- how appropriate for the cameo. Very nice condition, from a local estate.
