Antique 21K Yellow Gold Judgement of Paris Cameo Brooch

About the Item

The cameo brooch is an exquisite piece of jewelry, featuring a delicate and ornate yellow gold frame that is richly adorned with elegant scrolls. The scrolling design around the edges of the frame creates a sense of movement and adds a touch of opulence to the piece, drawing attention to the intricate details of the cameo itself. At the heart of the brooch is the Judgement of Paris scene, skillfully carved into the cameo. Three women, representing goddesses—Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite—stand gracefully in front of Paris, who is seated on a rock in profile. His expression is contemplative as he prepares to make the fateful decision of choosing the fairest goddess. Behind him, a child, seated on another rock, adds a layer of innocence and serenity to the scene. The finely detailed carving of the figures contrasts beautifully with the soft background, highlighting the characters and their expressions. The yellow gold scrolls of the frame enhance the cameo's classic beauty, giving the brooch an air of timeless elegance and making it a truly captivating work of art.
