ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

A cameo is a glyptograph or bas-relief carving, usually depicting a scene or portrait, for use in jewelry and decorative arts. The technical definition of a cameo translates into exquisite creations, and this alluring pendant is one of them. Carved from carnelian (hardstone), a classical beauty--crowned with a laurel wreath--is presented in high relief against a soft pinkish translucent background. The lovely portrait in profile is surrounded by a hand-engraved dimensional frame, punctuated by glimmering rose-cut diamonds and leaf-like embellishments effectively accented with black enamel. Formerly a brooch, this masterful work of art is now ready to grace your neckline. Hand fabricated in 18K gold, circa 1880. New chain measures 18 inches.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
