Antique Hardstone Intaglio Necklace 14 Karat Gold Ball Chain

About the Item

Five agate intaglios of varying size and age have been mounted in 18 karat gold settings. The settings are connected by golden balls made out of 18karat . They are threaded on a foxtail chain. The intaglios from left to right feature a sitting goddess with signature, carved in the 19th century out of brown agate. Then we see a two coloured agate with the head of a bearded satyr, carved in the 1st century A.C followed by the head of Athena, carved in cornelian in the early 19th century. Athena is followed by a goddess with a tree, Ceres, carved in brown sardonyx, 2. /3. A.C. Finally we see a women's head in profile, carved in the 19th century out of sardonyx. The center cameo of Athena has an old crack not visible to the naked eye
