BIEDERMEIER CAMEO

Goddesses of antiquity were popular motifs for 19th century gem cutters.

We see a classical bust of a lady in side profile, carved out of a shell by a master craftsman.

Every single lock of the lady's hair has been painstakingly carved by hand, and even a butterfly on her robe has found its place on her shoulder.

The floral setting with volute-like foliage nestles romantically around the cameo.

The gem brooch has a pin on the back and is additionally secured with a safety chain, making it comfortable and secure to wear.

The very high-quality, antique and beautiful cameo  is stamped with 15 carat yellow gold on the back.

 The cameo is wonderfully preserved and radiates exclusivity.

 Material: 15 carat yellow gold
