What does this mean?

Dear,
My name is Luciana, I am an appraiser for Mearto and it is a pleasure for me to be able to help you.

This vintage feminine piece features an intricately carved ivory cameo and diamond. Surrounded by an octagonal frame with diamond. The large oval image features the profile of a lovely young woman looking to the side with flowers accenting her shoulders. There is nice relief to the carving with finely detailed features.
