"This cameo is exquisitely carved with minute details--a marvel to behold. MOP is the inside lining of a shell, laid in distinct layers. Sometimes the lining is thinner in some shells and the outside of the shell is usually darker, tan to very dark brown. So its NOT unusual to find that the back side of the MOP carving to be a darker colour. I know you will enjoy this cameo as much as I do!"

"This is a lovely piece--very well done and the detail of the carving is exquisite!! Love it and would LOVE to see more carved stones or MOP at JTV. Thanks JTV for such a beautiful piece. One of my daughters loves cameos and because they are so expensive, she doesn't get many. I plan to have this set in silver for her and she will be thrilled!!"

"When I ordered this I had my doubts about the beauty and quality. I was pleasantly suprised and impressed. I collect cameos and display them and this is truely supreme in beauty and craftsmanship it was detailed and well carved. The luster of the MOP was striking. I wish they would put a bale or pin on it so I could give it as a gift for mother's day. For the price this is a steal and a deal!!! I've ordered from JTV for many years and this was a homerun, touchdown, slam dunk and a goal. Keep the deals coming!

Fast Facts
| Once the price of pearls was so extravagant they caused wars and even funded a war, but today cultured pearls have made this “queen of gems” available to everyone. |
| Once, all pearls were only natural, most recovered from the Persian Gulf, occurring once in every 15,000 oysters. |
| Pearls form in the mollusk in a variety of shapes, including: round (spherical), off-round, semi-baroque, baroque, rice shaped, button or disk, and many fancy shapes created by the insertion of specially shaped nucleus beads. |
| Many royal families had an obsession with pearls. Some ancient Romans covered whole pieces of furniture in pearl, and in some monarchies only members of the royal were legally allowed to wear pearls. |
 When light touches the pearl, it travels through all the layers of nacre, and each tiny crystal reflects the light like miniature prisms. The end result? A lustrous, breathtaking pearl.
