About the Item
Exuding the elegance of the Victorian era, this exquisitely carved French agate cameo features a neoclassical maiden in profile, adorned with a delicate floral crown. Her serene expression is framed by intricate curls, while a pearl necklace and matching earrings enhance her refined beauty. Unlike many cameos, which are often shallow, this exceptional example showcases an astonishingly high relief, allowing for remarkable depth and lifelike detail. Expertly carved from multiple layers of agate, it displays a captivating multicolored effect. A sophisticated border of rose cut diamonds and black enamel accentuates the masterpiece, all set in a classic 18K yellow gold mounting.

Fabergé Diamond Brooch
By Fabergé
Located in New Orleans, LA
This sophisticated brooch, composed of swirling motifs and glittering white diamonds, hails from the famed Russian House of Fabergé. Crafted with undeniable charm and taste by the iconic Carl Fabergé, this brooch features approximately 2.00 carats of Old Mine-cut diamonds that shine in their 18K gold and platinum settings.
The House of Fabergé was founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav Faberge. In 1872, Peter Carl Fabergé took over his father's small jewelry atelier and transformed it into the world's largest decorative arts enterprise of its kind. The firm built a devoted clientele, including members of the Romanov Imperial family, for whom they crafted their most precious pieces and the firm’s celebrated Easter eggs. In 1917, the Russian Revolution brought an end to the Romanov dynasty, the exile of Peter Carl Fabergé to Switzerland and a definitive halt to the original...
