Sold on Layaway | 18K Victorian Hardstone Agate Double Cameo with Pearl & Green Enamel Brooch-Pendant Suite
A superb and exquisite, rare double hardstone cameo brooch-pendant suite carved from agate, modelled in 18k gold.
The piece is decorated with a fine goldwork frame of handcrafted flowers with alternating pearls and green guilloche enamel on the leaves. It is in amazing condition!
The cameos are carved from banded agate, giving it a two tone effect and it is carved to perfection with great detail.
A smaller cameo suspends from the larger cameo, featuring portraits of two ladies. An amazing detail is that the smaller cameo can also be detached from the larger piece as it has a hidden hook on the reverse, so that it may also be worn on its own as a pendant on a chain.
The larger cameo can be worn as a pendant or brooch on its own or with the smaller cameo, which really offers multiple ways to wear this piece, making it a two piece suite! It comes with a bail that folds down when wearing it as a brooch.
