Bacchus Dionysus Diamond Platinum Cameo Pendant Victorian Hand Carved

About the Item

This is a stunning antique Victorian - Belle Epoque Pendant of a magnificent hand carved face of Bacchus, also known as Dionysus. The stunning carved face is set in a platinum open work surround with 14 gorgeous antique Diamonds with a Diamond set bale. The face of Dionysus is a masterpiece of artistic expression - the face is carved with exquisite detail throughout, the hair is stunning and the grape and leaf clusters in his hair are wonderful! It is so very difficult to find these magnificent cameo jewels. The face is carved in a natural material. Bacchus or Dionysus is the god of the grape-harvest, winemaking and wine, of fertility, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre in ancient Greek religion and myth. The pendant is 1 1/4 inches (33mm) tall including the bale and (23mm) wide. The listing is only for the pendant - the chain is only shown for display. The pendant is Platinum. The pendant weighs 4.3 grams. There is an old repair on the back of the upper left corner of the cameo. This is not visible as it is underneath the platinum setting. It does not detract from the piece in any way in our opinion but we wanted to mention it.
