Habillé is a term used for cameo jewelry in which diamonds or gems are attached to the shell cameo itself as decoration.
Common cameo habillés will have a carving of a female portrait. There are 2 small holes drilled at the edges of her collar, where a tiny, twisted metal rope acts as her necklace with a single diamond mounted as a pendant. |
