This is a vintage necklace that features a cameo. I am not sure what it is made of but the cameo looks like bakelite or celluloid. The rest of the necklace is a tortoiseshell look that could be lucite? I am sorry for not knowing exactly what it is. This belonged to my mother and I remember her wearing it in the 1950's, but it could be 1940's. The cameo pendant measures 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" and the chain section (which is also plastic of some sort) is 12" long. It is in excellent condition. Please give this beautiful necklace a home where it will be appreciated.
