In glorious Art Nouveau styling, this classic Black and Ivory cherub cameo brooch also doubles as a pendant. With a convenient bale on the back, this brooch can easily be converted into a necklace and worn near the neckline, or below the breast. This striking Art Nouveau cameo measures 2 1/2 by 1 3/4 inches. Circa 1890 jewelry is primarily made from USA brass. USA-made brass findings are among the best quality and safest in the world for their strict adherence to the California metal containing laws. Each piece is carefully soldered with lead free soldered and plated in a rich antique gold finish.
