About the Item
Embrace the timeless allure of this pendant, featuring a finely carved Gryllos (multi-headed) lava cameo set in a custom 14k gold mount. The cameo itself dates to the late Victorian era (circa 1890) and showcases the imaginative artistry of the period, when mythological and symbolic subjects were highly prized among cultured collectors. The contemporary gold frame enhances its wearability while allowing the antique carving to take center stage.
The pendant measures 1.75 inches from the top of the bail to the base by 1.1 inches across, and it weighs 13.94 grams. The gold content has been verified through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming purity and authenticity.
In great condition, this jewel bridges the artistry of the 19th century with modern craftsmanship, making it a rare and distinctive statement piece for the discerning collector.
Upon purchase, your pendant will arrive elegantly packaged, ready for gifting or as a special treat for yourself. We carefully wrap each piece to ensure a delightful unboxing experience.
