Product Details

An exquisite antique hardstone Cameo brooch from the mid Victorian era (Circa 1860) featuring a hand carved, high relief hardstone cameo depicting the side profile of a lady with long earrings and a laurel wreath in her curly hair. 

Roman style Cameo’s were highly sought after in the 19^th century during the 'Grand Tour' days when tourists developed a fascination with destinations such as Rome. They often depicted Goddesses and characters from mythology and became a favourite of Queen Victoria also.

The cameo is set in an ornate 15ct gold frame surrounded by fifteen pearls and topped with a bow bordered in black enamel. It’s a wonderful piece of history, in excellent condition and fitted with a safety chain for added security when worn.
