Victorian 18K gold high relief agate cameo brooch pendant
This exceptional, 19th century, Victorian era high-relief (height of approx. 4cm) agate cameo features the delicate profile of a woman, her soft and tranquil countenance evoking a beauty of silence in a noisy world. Nothing seems able to disturb her; she remains deeply immersed in her thoughts and imagination. The depth and craftsmanship of this cameo are among the finest we have ever seen.
The profile is elegantly framed in 18K yellow gold and is decorated with natural pearls with black enamel accents, enhancing the cameo’s refined details and highlighting its exceptional quality.
Designed for versatility, the piece can be worn as a brooch via the pin mechanism or as a pendant with the removable bale. Large in size and exquisitely detailed, this is a rare statement piece, perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates the artistry of fine cameos.
