Sometimes a photo, no matter how good the camera, cannot capture the true beauty of a lady, and that, is the case with this cameo. It is truly a find and gets "euuus and ahhhs" every time someone looks at it. It is antique gold in finish and color with plenty of light amber crystals to highlight this Gibson gal. Her coloring is the lightest shade of lavender you can imagine with a hint of gray. The overall piece has got weight to it and the back has both a hook and a pin for optional wearing pleasure. But the beads and chain have been carefully selected to compliment it as a necklace and give it my special touch. For more pictures write to me.
