Product Details

Roman style Cameo jewellery was highly sought after in the 19^th Century during the “Grand Tour” days when tourists developed a fascination with destinations such as Rome. They were a personal favourite of Queen Victoria also and were carved in the same classic style, usually depicting Gods and characters from Roman/ Greek mythology. 

The cameos are set in ornate sterling silver frames, gilded in 18ct yellow gold and fitted with a secure box clasp at the end.
