Victorian era 18K gold agate blackamoor cameo brooch
This very chic Victorian-era brooch is crafted in 18K yellow gold and features a beautiful two-layered agate Blackamoor cameo, which depicts a finely carved female profile.
The cameo is delicately framed by a circle of black enamel woven motifs, seamlessly intersecting with the warm gold border for a beautifully balanced design. Next to the central motif and on the brooch are symmetrical flower motifs, adding a delicate decorative touch.
A sophisticated and rare jewel from a bygone era, it is a wonderful piece to add into your collection.
