Description
Exquisite antique shell cameo brooch with a setting of yellow gold 585 / 14 Kt (tested and guaranteed). The round comb shows the finely cut image of Athene in profile to the right. Her open, wavy hair, the curved helmet with laurel and the necklace are reproduced in detail. Also the face is worked out in fine features and confirms the skill of the stone cutter who cut the beautiful gem in the 19th century. The jewel of a genuine shell is set in a beautiful, filigree Renaissance style setting with filigree leaf and flower motifs and small seed pearls. On the back the piece of jewellery has a simple needling with a C-hook.
The exquisite and particularly detailed cut mussel cameo was created around 1880. It is a very beautiful example of the antique reception of the 19th century and complements classical styles in the finest way!
