Victorian 18ct Gold Carved Coral Cameo Pendant

19th century
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

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.

The chain in the photographs is not included.

FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian cameo jewellery features detailed classical profile portraits carved from materials such as shell, hardstone, or natural coral, mounted within decorative gold settings.

These pieces typically pair hand-carved Mediterranean coral with high-karat yellow gold, such as 15ct or 18ct gold, often adorned with beaded or granulated borders.

Authentic antique coral cameos display slight natural colour variations, subtle hand-carving marks, classical drapery details, and period-appropriate metal mounts.

An antique cameo pendant can be worn on a simple modern gold chain as a singular statement piece or layered alongside delicate contemporary gold necklaces.

Because coral is a porous organic material, it should be kept away from water, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, and cleaned softly with a dry, lint-free cloth.
