About the Item

This is a stunning Antique Hardstone Cameo Pendant Brooch, framed by Rose Cut diamonds and Pearls. The pendant is Silver atop 18 Karat Gold as was the custom of the period. The pin stem has French guarantee stamps. The cameo is a hardstone cameo of extraordinary beauty. The carving is the work of a master artisan. The face is a masterpiece of artistic expression, and is carved with exquisite detail throughout, the hair is stunning, the costume drapery is gorgeous and I love the drop earring! It is so very difficult to find these magnificent hardstone cameo jewels and this one with its halo of rose cut diamonds and pearls is one of the finest. There are six pearls set around the cameo. These are most likely natural pearls. On either side of the pearls are rose cut diamonds. The diamonds are set in wonderful collet settings. The jewel dates to the Victorian - Belle Epoque period, circa 1850-1880. The jewel has a hanging hook to be worn as a pendant as well as a pin stem to be worn as a brooch. The pendant/brooch is 1 3/4 inches tall by 1 1/4 inches wide.
