It has quite a relief and very detailed molding, you can see the strands of waves in her lush hair and even the individual leaves making up her headband. The cameo is from the 1950s. The purple-blue is actually painted on, so there may be very slight scuffs on it revealing the white base from age & storage.

NEON PINK & BEIGE CHERUBIMS CAMEO NECKLACE
Price: S$35.00 (US$29.17)

Size: 22" chain, 58 x 38mm pendant including ring
Handmade by me, the vintage cameo is made of resin, in a cute combination of beige and candy pink. The pink is definitely much more vibrant in person (almost neon pink!) so the contrast is even better than shown in my photos, my photos didn't capture the saturation right. The cameo is very detailed with dimension, showing two cherubims playing in the clouds. The cherubim on top looks like he's going to jump out any moment! I've prong-set them in an ox-brass dotted border setting and added some matching embellishments on top using olive caps and matte pink beads.
