Up for sale is an exquisite, matching mid-century Italian jewelry set featuring a hand-carved mother-of-pearl (MOP) cameo pendant necklace and ring. Both pieces showcase a beautifully rendered, right-facing classical Greco-Roman woman's portrait carved directly from luminous, multi-tonal iridescent mother-of-pearl shell. The portraits are securely bezel-set within a timeless, continental silver twisted-wire rope frame.
Artisan Maker Marks & Authenticity: Ring Details: Distinctly hallmarked "BS 800" on the flat silver reverse backing of the cameo structure rather than the band. The letters are stamped as a free-floating artisan signature without an enclosing box, indicating a workbench-level handcrafted creation.
Necklace Details: Stamped "B" on the reverse structure/bail, cleanly matching the signature of the master workshop.
Provenance: This rare pairing is attributed directly to the historic mid-century artisan workshops of Torre del Greco, Italy (near Naples)—the world's capital for elite cameo carving. The "800" designation verifies that the set is crafted from solid continental coin silver (80% purity).
