Vintage Australian Hawke 9ct Gold-Lined Carved Shell Cameo Brooch with Original Box

Why we chose it: A beautifully preserved Australian cameo brooch by Hawke, complete with its original presentation box — a rare and wonderful touch for collectors. The cameo itself is hand-carved from natural shell, displaying elegant detail and warm contrast. We love the classic 9ct gold-lined setting, which adds richness while keeping the brooch lightweight and wearable. The small natural fault at the top of the cameo shell does not detract from its beauty and may even have occurred during carving. A charming and authentic heirloom piece.
