This antique Victorian brooch is hard stone cameo of Etruscan Revival inspiration with a locket compartment crafted in 14k yellow gold. It weighs 18.6g and measures 52mm long, 33 mm wide and 13mm deep. An authentic 1860's Victorian work of art, this captivating cameo brooch of exquisite neo-classical design and elaborate craftsmanship depicts the portrait of a Romanesque stately lady in period attire and hairstyle. Immaculately carved 'en relief' in 'white on dusty-pink' sardonyx, this intricately detailed cameo is mounted in an ovular yellow gold setting, the color-contrasted portrait embellished with an intriguing, highly ornate frame epitomizing the distinct Etruscan Revival artistry. A trio of immaculately crafted inverted heart silhouettes enhanced by Etruscan corded wire and granulation techniques crown the hard-stone portrait, accentuated with fine curls and a pearl necklace, spaced by decorative triumvirate profiles. The lower finial of this captivating frame is adorned with a similar heart-motif profile, enriched by corded wire and granulation, flanked by delicate corded wire scrolls terminating with granulation accents. This attention-seeking Victorian brooch features a crystal-covered locket compartment to secret a photograph, a lock of hair or a memento of sentimental significance, in-keeping with Victorian tradition.
