About the Item

This remarkable piece showcases a detailed sardonyx cameo of a young girl, Julie, carving into a tree while her loyal dog watches. Julie is the central figure from Jean-Jacques Rousseau's novel Julie, or the New Heloise, which tells the poignant, tragic love story between a young aristocrat and her tutor. The scene depicted here was immortalized in Jean-Honoré Fragonard's famous painting The Souvenir and later captured in this exceptional cameo. The craftsmanship of the cameo is unparalleled—every delicate detail, from the textured tree branches to the graceful folds of Julie's gown and the attentive little dog, is brought to life with remarkable precision. The cameo is encased in a twisted 18K yellow gold rope frame, adding an extra layer of sophistication and depth. The bracelet features a beautifully articulated band, designed for comfort with each link hand-carved using repoussé from 20K yellow gold, creating a rich texture that complements the central cameo. Versatile and timeless, this rare piece can be worn as a bracelet, pendant, or brooch—making it an ideal addition to any collection.
