She is vey sensuous, with no clothing showing. The grapes denote love of Bacchante god of wine. Extreme amount of unblemished detail to Amethyst cameo with 4 grape clusters with leaves in her hair. The majority of time it looks black; but you can see purple when it catches the light. I have seen similar large cameos to this in diamond settings go for ,400.
    This beauty in on a 150 year old large smooth Mother of Pearl Brooch.  I have added an adapter & a dangling vintage festoon of purple grapes & leaves.
    The 1 1/2" long antique amethyst handmade beads with handmade purple spacers are about 100 years old.
    Just Beautiful! Foiled Cameo on brooch is 2" x 1 1/3" x 3/4" thick., the Cameo itself is 1 2/3" x 1 1/4" x 3/4" thick.
    I purchased these unused molded glass cameos (30+) from a Paris Workshop closed in 1910. They are beautiful, rare & great. This is heavy thick glass. To see the others enter "1910 Glass Cameo" in the search engine top left of my shop.

Pate de verre gained renown as an art form by French artists Émile Gallé, Antonin Daum and Réné Lalique. The final result is a piece of sculpture that has a surface with a texture that is similar to that of fine sugar. ...
    This is an antique cameo on an antique brooch on antique beaded necklace (in great antique condition). What's not to love?
