About the Item

Elegant and refined, this necklace is a true antique piece dating back to the mid-19th century. Crafted in 14-karat yellow gold, the structure showcases exquisite artisanal workmanship typical of the 1800s, with careful attention to detail and balanced proportions. The design features three lava cameos arranged in a harmonious composition: at the center, a large oval cameo set in a delicate gold frame, flanked by two smaller round cameos, all connected by fine decorative chains. The cameos, likely hand-carved, depict classical profiles inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity, in a refined Neoclassical style that was highly popular during the Grand Tour era of the 19th century. The lava used most likely originates from Mount Vesuvius, a common choice for cameos intended for travelers of the time who sought to bring home a souvenir of Italy’s cultural and natural wonders. The dark gray hue of the lava contrasts beautifully with the warm tones of the gold, enhancing the piece’s sophistication. Ideal for collectors, antique enthusiasts, or anyone looking to wear a one-of-a-kind piece of European jewelry history. A rare example of timeless elegance that combines art, history, and beauty in a single object.
