Victorian Large Hand Carved Lava Cameo Link Necklace
About the Item
An absolutely incredible lava cameo necklace from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! Crafted in 14kt yellow gold, this fantastic piece features five large cameos carved from multi-colored pieces of lava. Each bezel set cameo is skillfully hand-carved to depict five extremely detailed faces surrounded by curled foliage. The ornate 3-dimensional images feature strong facial features, textured hair, and shapely cutouts throughout. The lava links are particularly large and graduate in size, displaying wonderful hues of rich reddish-brown, sage green, beige, taupe, and grey. Each cameo is separated by two or three-stranded gold beaded chain, and the necklace fastens at a large gold push clasp in the back. There is an elegant monogram reading "JES" engraved on the clasp, and a stamp reading "14K" can be found on the tongue. This conversation piece would be a magnificent addition to any collection!
Measurements: The central cameo measures 2 1/4" tall and 1 5/8" wide. Two of the cameos are nearly 1 3/4" in width and nearly 1 1/2" at their tallest points. The outermost cameos measure 1" wide and 1 1/8" at their tallest points. The necklace measures approximately 15.5" in total length.

Victorian Hardstone Cameo Locket Necklace Hand Carved Antique Book Chain 1870
Located in New York, NY
THIS IS A SUPERB VICTORIAN PICTURE LOCKET NECKLACE WITH A HAND CARVED HARDSTONE CAMEO OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. THE LOCKET HANGS FROM A WONDERFUL BOOK BELCHER CHAIN. THE NECKLACE DATES TO C1860-1890.
The locket features a stunning hard stone hand carved Cameo of a woman in exquisite clorthes with a beautiful face, wonderful hair and wearing a pendant earring. The work of the artisan is absolutely superb. Carving hardstone cameos requires much greater skill and artistry than shell cameos. This white and black onyx carving is magnificent.
The locket is Gold-Filled with a braided surround on the front. The reverse has an open work filigree design. The chain is a wonderful gold filled belcher link chain of great beauty. I love the design of the 3 bales with their wonderful finish.
