About the Item
A stunning, fine and impressive Victorian 15 karat yellow gold, carved shell cameo brooch; part of our diverse antique jewelry and estate jewelry collections.
This stunning carved shell cameo brooch has been crafted in 15k yellow gold.
The finely carved shell cameo displays a less common depiction of Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth and divine cupbearer to the gods and the Aetos Dios, a giant golden eagle which served as Zeus' personal messenger and animal companion; Zeus, being Hebe's father.
In this carving, the eagle is holding a cornucopia (horn of plenty), representing the horn of Amalthea, the goat who nourished Zeus when he was a baby.
The oval shaped carved shell cameo is bezel set in an polished 15k yellow gold frame ornamented with an applied rope twist border and four applied scrolling motifs interconnected via plain curved bands.
The brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp.
This antique brooch is hallmarked to the outer rim with the 15k gold fineness mark (15k) and maker's mark 'JS'.
