ANTIQUE 14K WHITE GOLD DIAMOND CARVED CAMEO PENDANT BROOCH Pin 2.5" XL 20gm.
XLARGE - OBVIOUSLY EXECUTED BY A MASTER CARVER- THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO OFFER!!! EXQUISITE!!!
By the second half of the 19th Century the Cameo had become an essential item of female adornment. This lovely Victorian/Nouveau carved Carnelian shell cameo depicts a beautiful Goddess, most likely Aphrodite. The Victorians were less concerned with mythological accuracy, instead requiring their cameos to follow the aesthetic of Romanticism. This charming example is EXTRA LARGE and SO skillfully executed, a true treasure. The ornate filigree 14KT white gold ornate setting of this brooch is unusually attractive. The pendant is set with a mine cut diamond with nice brilliance, 3.3mm : 10+ points. The brooch has a flip up ring to wear as a pendant.
Measures 2 1/2" by 2". Weight 20.2 grams. THERE IS AT LEAST 12-13 GRAMS OF SOLID GOLD IN THIS SETTING, possibly more!!! Marked 14K on clasp. This is the best shell cameo I've ever had the pleasure to offer. Sharply and precisely executed- the work of a master carver. The mount is original to the cameo. Condition is excellent and problem free. Suitable for the most advanced collection, you'll not find a better rendering
