This spectacular item of Victorian Jewelry is an authentic Victorian hard-stone cameo pin with a breath-taking Etruscan frame. Weighing 38.4g and measuring 5.4cm long and 4.5cm wide, this outstanding pristine antique Victorian Etruscan brooch, most likely of Italian origin, is centered with a framed virgin hard-stone cameo carved from a stone measuring 4.1cm long and 3.2cm wide. Impressively three dimensional, this stunningly beautiful hard-stone cameo features the finitely detailed silhouette and shoulder of a sophisticated young lady, hair back from her face, void of all accessories. Naked to the world, this faultless Goddess is bordered by an 18k yellow gold, six row Etruscan frame detailed with a variety of aesthetic twisted gold wire, accomplishing the precision perfection the could only be matched with a custom carving of this magnitude. Semitransparent, the 'butterscotch' colored background is carved en relief to reveal a 'matte white' silhouette, making this Victorian Jewelry item amongst the most impressive and the most memorable featured on FCI over the course of previous decades, secured with both the original pin and clasp.
