Sharmaine Porcelaine Limoges Minerva Brooch/Pendant

Sharmaine Porcelaine Limoges Minerva Brooch/Pendant, depicting Minerva the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, shown in her signature plumed helmet, set against a serene sage green porcelain background.  The cameo is beautifully framed in a gold plated bezel with an ornate twisted rope border, complete with a secure trombone clasp and integrated bail, allowing it to be worn as either a brooch or a pendant.  The reverse is clearly signed “Sharmaine Porcelaine Limoges,” confirming its authentic French Limoges porcelain origin. Likely part of a sought-after mid-20th-century series of classical-themed cameos (circa 1960s–1980s), this delicate porcelain piece captures timeless mythological grace and makes a wonderful collectible.  Measurements: 4.2 cm high (excluding bail) × 3.2 cm at widest point. Weight: 11.3 g.
