Description:  This very fine quality, Georgian brooch features a superb ivory cameo.  The cameo is covered by rock crystal and rests upon either tightly woven hair or silk.  I think this could have been a memorial brooch of a famous person, but I am not sure.  To see a photo of the back:  photo1 and here is a side view, note how thick the rock crystal is on top of the brooch: photo2
