Description

We are delighted to offer this decorative 9ct gold purple glass cameo made c.1910.

The brooch features beautiful transparent purple glass with a white carved cameo head mounted on top. Depending on the background and lighting, the purple colour drastically changes from dark purple to light see-through lilac glass.

Made in a versatile size with an embellished gold border, this cameo would grace a wide variety of styles, clothing and occasions.

The brooch is unmarked, however, we have tested it for 9ct gold.

All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.

Size·Total Weight

3.2cm x 3.7cm

3.49g / 0.112 troy oz

Condition: Good antique condition with no major issues/damage. There are a few minor areas on the rear showing old solder around the border and one hairline crack on the gold mount as shown in the last image. This does not affect the cameo functionally as it sits perfectly with no rattle.

We aim to overemphasize and state these issues to avoid disappointment and thus please rest assured they are not significant nor affect the usage of the items.

Please refer to the photos for further details.

*Please note: all other items are for display purposes only and this listing is for the item listed in the title only.

Cameos feature carved relief designs and have been crafted for centuries, experiencing major revivals during the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras as popular personal ornaments.

Edwardian cameos frequently utilized carved shell, hardstone, or moulded glass mounted in precious metals such as 9-carat or 15-carat gold.

Authentic pieces often feature period hallmarks, hand-carved details with characteristic tool marks under magnification, and traditional pin mechanisms such as C-clasps or safety pins.

Vintage brooches can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the collar of a blouse, or used to secure a scarf for a classic accessorised look.

Antique jewellery should be cleaned gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and stored separately in a padded box to prevent scratches on softer materials like glass and shell.
