About the Item

Lush with symbolism and classical beauty, this exceptional antique jewelry set features hand-carved shell cameos depicting a Bacchante, a female follower of Bacchus (Dionysus), adorned with fruiting vines—a symbol of ecstasy, nature’s abundance, and divine revelry. Each cameo is delicately framed in rich 20k yellow gold, a high-karat setting that enhances the warm glow of the shell and the depth of the carving. Likely crafted in the late 19th century, this set exemplifies Victorian fascination with myth.
