About the Item

This amazing cross pendant is from the 1860's and it is magnificent.There are 6 hardstone Cameos depicting classical Greek figures, in the center probably Dionysus accompanied by a retinue of female followers, mounted in 14K yellow gold. I have never seen another in all my years of collecting fine and antique jewelry. The length is 7 cm and the width is 4.5 cm. These carvings are exquisite and I have a matching small ring. There is one small repair on the underside but it does not distract, imagine this is one hundred and sixty five years old and in beautiful condition. I have acquired several other hardstone cameo pieces that work beautifully with this cross do not wait, just might be too late.
