Victorian 18K Gold Hardstone Warrior Cameo Locket

About the Item

Held in a triangular shaped locket is a beautiful hard-stone cameo depicting a helmeted warrior. The helmet’s visor is lifted, revealing the face of a bearded man with a strong profile. The cameo is encircled in an 18k gold triangular frame. The open framework contains roses and leaves, and its elegant detail contrasts nicely against the black and white of the cameo. The back of the locket opens up, and the cameo can be removed from the piece, allowing a small photograph to be added to the back of the cameo if desired. Adding a photograph of your own could make this piece into a talisman for protection or a symbol of having someone watch over you. This is a European piece, marked 18k, with an unidentified maker’s mark resembling a tiny caliper. The original bail—adorned with a rose— is still in tact, making this locket even more special. The piece weighs 4.15 grams. The triangular locket is approximately 1”x1”. The bail is 4.7mm x 6.7mm.

  • Victorian Etruscan Revival Gold Fill Locket
    Located in Venice, CA
    This Victorian-era Etruscan Revival locket, circa 1870’s-1880’s, opens to reveal the daguerreotype of a young man. Across from it is a blank frame where an additional photo can still be added. The daguerreotype is hand-colored—the man has rosy cheeks and there is a slight blue tinge to the background. The front of the locket features ornate twisted-wire motifs and granulation, typical to the Etruscan Revival period, and there are seed pearls on the front emblem. The original bail can clip onto a larger chain, or a smaller chain can be slid through, so the locket can be styled in multiple ways. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800’s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...
