About the Item

Indulge in a stunning antique Victorian Blue Jasper Cameo Intaglio Pendant or Charm with an image of the God Hermes or Mercury with his fabulous winged helmet and noble face. The antique intaglio pendant is made of blue and black jasper porcelain in the style of Wedgwood. The pendant or charm is set in 10 Karat gold. The intaglio is of extraordinary beauty and the imagery of the God is wonderful. Hermes (Greek Mythology), Mercury (Roman Mythology) In Greek mythology, Hermes was the messenger of the gods, the protector of travelers, and the guide of the dead to the underworld. Messenger of the gods: Hermes was the messenger of the gods and a mediator between the living and the dead. He was often depicted with a winged hat and sandals. Protector of travelers: Hermes was the patron god of travelers, and his statues were often found at crossroads. Guide of the dead: Hermes was the conductor of the dead to Hades, and was known as the psychopomp, or "soul guide". Other associations: Hermes was also associated with luck, shepherds, athletes, and merchants. He was the patron of invention, art, literature, and trade. Cameo and Intaglio jewels are all the rage today and this is one of the most wonderful we have seen. The jewel is in the style of those made today by Elizabeth Locke, however, this is the original 19th Century jewel that was Locke's inspiration. The blue color is absolutely fabulous. The cameo dates to the 19th Century. The pendant is 27mm tall (1 1/16 inches) including the bales. Without the bale it is 20mm tall and is 17mm (3/4 inch) wide. The pendant is 10-12 Karat Gold. The listing is only for the cameo pendant. The chain is only shown for display.
