About the Item

This is an absolutely stunning antique Victorian - Belle Epoque Hardstone Carnelian Cameo Pendant with a high relief carving of a woman. The hardstone cameo is of extraordinary beauty and is set in 14 Karat Gold. The color of the Carnelian gem beneath the white of the woman is a beautiful pink-mauve color which allows wonderful light to enter the jewel. This creates a magical effect and one that is very rare to find in cameo jewels. It is a bit difficult to capture this pink color in the photos but know that it is just gorgeous. The Cameo is the work of a master artisan. The woman is beautifully carved in Carnelian with very high three dimensional relief and delicate details. Hard stone cameos are far more difficult to carve than shell cameos as they are carved from semi-precious gems and require extraordinary lapidary skills. The cameo pendant dates to circa 1860-1900. The pendant is 7/8 inch (22mm) tall not including the bales, and is 1 1/8 inches (29mm) tall including the bales. It is 5/8 inch (15mm) wide. The pendant is 14 Karat Gold. The pendant weighs 3.2 grams. The listing is only for the Cameo Pendant. The chain is only shown for display.
