Antique Onyx Cameo Pin
Ref: C8104T
A cameo stick pin carved as the head of a lady with fine floral headdress. The cameo is carved out of black and white banded onyx and surrounded by a twisted gold border. The cameo leads to a polished yellow gold pin.
Although cameos can be traced back to antiquity and beyond, the most popular period for cameos was the 19th century, inspired by cameo collectors Queen Victoria and Emperor Napoleon Buonaparte. Carved from one stone, with a natural white and black banding, this lovely classic cameo features lots of detail, and was carved by a skilled craftsman. The twisted border gives it a wonderful ornate look, and allows the pin to stand out on dark clothing. A must-have for every antique jewellery enthusiast.
