Antique Chalcedony 18 Karat Gold Cameo Pendant w Matching Cameo Earring Set

About the Item

Meticulously carved in semi-precious Chalcedony with exquisite detail this lovely three-piece set consisting of a Pre-Victorian Cameo Pendant and Earring Pair is in remarkable condition. Believed to be hand crafted by a French artisan circa 1860-1875, each one of the three pieces depicts a unique portrait figure in relief carving. Fabulously framed in 18 karat gold, each has achieved a very attractive yellow green gold antique patina over time. All have hand-painted enamel trim enhancements and are accented with hand set seed pearls. The contoured oval pendant measures approximately 2-5/8" long and 1-5/8" has a large bale to originally accommodate a ribbon but one could substitute a chain or cord. Dramatic cameo drop earrings, matching in design with complementing hand carved portraits complete the set. The earrings drop two inches from the floral inspired decorative posts which mimics the overall style of the set. Absolutely a stunning and unique set for a collector or as a bridal suite. For pierced ears with secure post backs. Gift wrapped.
