This is sort of a bucket list item for me. She has had a rough rest in the dirt though.
A Cameo.
I am not sure if it was part of a bracelet or choker chain.
Can anyone give a date on this?
I have seen white ones but this is pink,
Probably very pretty in its day although I think it is pretty now lol.

Terrific find! A pink cameo would be pink coral ( look for some grain, like wood) or in a non precious mounting it's more likely molded glass.

It does remind me of shell type material.
I see fine details, image looking right, fine details like pudgy nose, high cheek bone features, detailed hair, pearl necklace.
I am hoping 1800s?

Cameo is a very rear find ...I saw only one time one relic hunter found thing like this. If it had a floral design around I would say Victorian era. At first glance it seams it is from early 20th century, I guess. Congrats on a super rare find!

If interested,
She is low quality. The carving is not very crisp and has only basic details. No ear earring necklace bows etc... The more detail the finer the piece Obviously but I had to learn about cameo detail the hard way. First tell is the non precious setting then the lack of details mentioned above. She is also very cracked. Excellent find but zero value.
That said excellent find. You were in the pay dirt.
