My Darling Juliet | Antique Victorian Silver Filagree Cameo Necklace

Antique Victorian Shell Cameo Necklace | .875 Silver & Green Glass Gemstones

ABOUT:

A treasure from the past, this Victorian-era European cameo necklace is a stunning example of old-world craftsmanship. The hand-carved shell cameo is set in .875 silver, a silver standard historically used in continental Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Framed by intricate metalwork and accented with rich green glass gemstones, this piece exudes a timeless elegance.

Unlike many similar pieces, this necklace features a stamped hallmark—RS 875—on a small rectangular plate that was carefully welded onto the back of the metalwork. The 875 indicates a 87.5% pure silver content, a standard commonly seen in European jewelry from this era, while the RS mark likely represents the original artisan or silversmith. This hallmark adds to the piece’s authenticity, making it even more special.

Delicate yet statement-making, this necklace pairs beautifully with a romantic slip dress, effortlessly blending antique charm with modern sophistication.

All of the jewelry listed here is antique and pre-owned, meaning it may show signs of wear, which is a testament to its rich history and the stories it carries. Far from being “perfect” or “brand new,” this is what makes antique pieces so special – they’ve been loved, cherished, and worn over time. I believe that these imperfections only add to their character and charm, and they’re ready for their next chapter with you. 

As with all antique jewelry, the stones may show subtle signs of wear, like surface abrasions or a natural patina, which only add to their unique character. Antique cuts and settings can differ from modern styles, contributing to their charm and individuality. Any significant imperfections or repairs will be clearly noted in the listings. Thank you for appreciating the beauty of their uniqueness!
