Vintage Sterling Silver Mother-of-Pearl Cameo and Marcasite Brooch - A vintage oval cameo brooch crafted in white-toned metal that appears to be sterling silver, though unmarked.

The surrounding frame features highly detailed openwork with scrolling ribbon motifs. Set into the decorative frame are numerous small, round-cut dark accent stones, consistent with marcasites.
