Neo Classic Carved Agate Eros Cameo 18k Yellow Gold Silver Brooch

About the Item

One Neo Classic Carved Agate Eros Cameo 18k Yellow Gold Silver Brooch. Featuring one carved carnelian agate cameo that represents the Greek-Roman mythological scene of a cherub playing with a butterfly, representing Eros falling in love with Psyche. Accented by 202 rose cut and senaille cut diamonds with a total weight of approximately 1.75 carat, graded near-colorless, VS-SI clarity, and 63 seed pearls. Crafted in 18 karat gold with a silver top with serial #13935. 14 karat back plate on cameo and brooch pin added later. Cameo is most likely of French origin circa 1860. Brooch was most likely a hairpin circa 1900 and was converted into a brooch later in time. The brooch measures 2 ¾ inches in width by 2 ½ inches in length. About this Item: Embrace the romantic allure of Roman mythology with this Neoclassical carved agate brooch. At its heart is a finely carved carnelian agate cameo portraying a tender scene: a cherub, symbolizing Eros, plays whimsically with a butterfly, alluding to his enamored feelings for Psyche. This touching tableau is illuminated by a constellation of over two hundred rose and senaille cut diamonds, their ethereal sparkle elegantly complemented by the soft luster of a bevy of seed pearls. Though the cameo hails from France around the 1860s, the brooch hints at a previous life as a hairpin from the dawn of the 20th century, a testament to its enduring charm and the transformative power of jewelry. Its generous dimensions make it not just an accessory, but a statement of history and elegance.
