About the Item
A refined and well-preserved Victorian-era hardstone cameo brooch, finely hand-carved in high relief and framed by a turquoise bead border within a substantial 14K yellow gold mount. This classic 19th-century piece reflects the era’s appreciation for classical imagery, careful craftsmanship, and richly detailed goldwork.
Specifications
Metal: 14K yellow gold
Cameo: Hand-carved hardstone cameo, classical profile

The cameo is carved in crisp, sculptural relief, showing a classical profile with softly modeled features and flowing hair rendered in confident, dimensional strokes. The creamy white carving contrasts beautifully with the warm brown hardstone ground, a hallmark of quality Victorian cameo work. Encircling the cameo is a continuous row of turquoise beads, a stone highly favored in the Victorian period for both its color and its symbolic associations with protection and remembrance.
The 14K yellow gold mount is robust and finely detailed, featuring rope-twist and wirework elements that add depth and visual interest to the frame. On the reverse, the original recessed compartment remains intact and fitted with a clear insert, a sentimental feature commonly incorporated into Victorian jewelry to hold a photograph or small memento.
This brooch presents with excellent presence and period authenticity, offering both decorative appeal and historical character representative of high-quality Victorian cameo jewelry.
Condition
Very good antique condition. Light surface wear consistent with age. The cameo carving remains well preserved, turquoise beads are intact, and the gold mount retains an attractive antique patina. The rear compartment is present and functional.
A timeless Victorian cameo brooch—ideal for a collector of antique jewelry or as a distinguished statement piece with genuine 19th-century elegance.
