Chiron and Achilles Centaur Cameo Brooch 24 Old Mine Diamonds Platinum Pearls
About the Item
This is one of the most exquisite Antique Victorian - Belle Epoque Diamond Platinum Cameo Brooches we have seen. The extraordinary cameo is a museum quality jewel. The hand carved shell cameo depicts the Centaur Chiron and Achilles with his bow and arrow, figures from Greek Mythology. Chiron is associated with the virtues of healing and knowledge. The very deeply carved cameo is set in an oval frame in 14 Karat Gold. The frame is adorned with 24 Old Mine Cut Diamonds set in a gorgeous design in Platinum. The cameo is completed by a halo of individually set pearls. The carving is the work of a master artisan. The faces, the extraordinary bodies, the centaur and the composition itself are a masterpiece of artistic cameo expression. The masterwork cameo has some of the finest three dimensional carving ever seen. The setting of the cameo is unparalleled. The old mine cut diamonds are absolutely gorgeous with the fire and sparkle of the antique diamonds that we just adore. The gorgeous setting of each diamond in platinum creates a magical jewel that is so unusual and delightful. The diamonds are each individually set "a jour" - with open backs, in order to let the maximum amount of light through the diamonds. The pearls are elegant silvery white pearls that may very well be natural.
The jewel dates to the Victorian - Belle Epoque period, circa 1860-1900.
CHIRON AND ACHILLES
In Greek mythology, Chiron was a wise and skilled centaur who mentored the hero Achilles. Chiron raised Achilles on Mount Pelion, teaching him the arts of war, hunting, music, and medicine.
Chiron, a centaur (half-human, half-horse), was a prominent figure in Greek mythology known for his wisdom and skill in various arts. He was a mentor to numerous heroes, including Achilles, Jason, and Heracles.
Chiron's association with healing and knowledge is reflected in his role as a mentor to Asclepius, the god of medicine.
The brooch is 2 3/4 inches (7cm) wide by 2 3/8 inches (63mm) tall.
The brooch is Platinum atop 14 Karat Gold.
The brooch weighs 21.9 grams.
The jewel can be easily converted to a pendant if desired.
