Three Graces Brooch
For this exquisite brooch, the Three Graces are masterfully depicted in a carved shell cameo and are enclosed within a golden, clipped-corner frame. (According to Greek Mythology, the Three Graces were the goddesses of Beauty, Mirth, and Good Cheer.) The shell cameo features hints of the organic design popular during the Art Nouveau movement of the early 20th century.
