This is an oval cameo on on possibly an agate on one side . There is a hallmark of 800 which I believe to be Italian Sterling It is gold colored. There is a scratch on the face and (except the pin in the back is a bit bent) . It is 1 3/8" x 1". It is Not in Original Box - It has a "gold" color around the cameo and the pin.

A wonderful Etsian said this about this piece this is a later, shell cameo. The 800 mark deals & marcasites suggest it was mounted in Europe.
May 1855 GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK expresses the Victorian's love of hair: "Hair is at once the most delicate and lasting of our materials, and survives us, like love. It is so light, so gentle, so escaping from the idea of death, that with a lock of hair belonging to a child or friend, we may almost look up to heaven and compare notes with the angelic nature - may almost say, 'I have a piece of thee here, not unworthy of thy being now.'"
