About the Item
A powerful symbol of elegance and conviction, this exquisite mid-19th-century pendant is a remarkable example of early suffragette jewelry. Centered by an oval cut amethyst, the jewel is enriched with a border of rose cut diamonds and striking green guilloché enamel, which form a delicate ribbon design. Suspended from a classic trace-link chain and housed in its original fitted case by retailer Henry Tessier of Mount Street, Grosvenor Square, the design radiates Victorian refinement while quietly conveying a powerful message. Set in 13K yellow gold and silver on an 11K yellow gold chain.
Suffragette jewelry used the colors purple for dignity, white for purity and green for hope, each chosen to represent the values and aspirations of the women's suffrage movement. To wear a jewel like this in the Victorian era was a subtle but unmistakable act of solidarity and a refined rebellion wrapped in beauty.

Renaissance Cameo Pendant
Located in New Orleans, LA
The cameo at the center of this exceptional pendant is a stunning example of the art of gem engraving during the Renaissance. It likely dates to the early 17th century and features a sacrificial scene inspired by the Greco-Roman era. The central flaming altar is flanked by two figures preparing to sacrifice a ram, while a figure in a lion skin blowing horns stands in the left corner. The carver brilliantly uses the natural layers of the stone to achieve the illusion of shadow and musculature on the figures. A second, smaller cameo is set at the top of the pendant, while a myriad of multi-colored gems, pearls and enamel adorns the 18K gold setting. A large Baroque pearl suspended from an enamel dragon finishes the design, which embodies the opulence and theatricality of jewels from the Renaissance age.
Cameos and intaglios were highly popular amongst wealthy connoisseurs in Renaissance Italy, and owning the finest pieces was the privilege of princes. Although they were often elaborately mounted for display alone, cameos were also frequently worn as pendants, surrounded by enameled and stone-set gold frames. Such pieces were particularly prized by the Medici and Lorraine families, many of which can now be seen at the National Archeological Museum in Florence.
