This Victorian Antique Necklace with a hard-stone cameo and pearls serves to remind us of the finely crafted work that came from Italian artisans more than a century ago. Weighing 15.9g and measuring 19inches long with a pendant measuring 3.7cm long and 2.9cm wide, this intricately carved hard-stone cameo of beautiful subject matter is mounted in an 18k rose gold frame, presently hanging on a feminine 14k rose gold chain. Measuring 30 x 21mm, this ?antique-cream and jet-black? colored hard-stone cameo bears the upper torso and profile of a beautiful young woman with curled and twin braided locks and a forehead comb, possibly constructed from tortoise. While the second braid sweeps around the nape of her neck, a cloak hangs off-shoulder, secured by a Roman-style switch. An ornate contrasting pearl frame mounted with 2.5mm diameter seed-pearls graded ?antique-cream? color and of ?good? nacre, serves to accentuate the matching high relief color hard-stone carving of this memorable Victorian Necklace. A superb addition to a black suit or white evening dress, this one-of-a-kind elaborately carved, femininely assembled yet elegantly sophisticated necklace can be worn to any occasion and is sure to be noticed by those who know!
