ANTIQUE #SA826033

Victorian 18ct Gold Carved Coral Cameo Pendant

£425    $569    €498
No well-to-do Victorian lady''s wardrobe was complete without some type of cameo, an accessory which was popularised when wealthy English people brought cameos home from Italy as souvenirs of their ''Grand Tour'', particularly once they became a staple of Queen Victoria''s dress.
 
This pendant contains a finely carved coral cameo sumptuously complemented by an Etruscan-style frame in the obvious rich colour of high-carat gold.
 
Condition: The back is a little dented and there are a few tiny splits around the side edges. From the front the piece is in very good antique condition and the flaws do not detract from its impact when worn.
 
Unmarked, tested as 18-carat gold.
 
Size: 2.5 x 1.8cm, 3.3cm total drop.
 
Weight: 3.4g.
