Victorian Gold Shell Cameo Brooch
An exemplary Victorian 18ct yellow gold shell cameo depicting a delicately carved classical scene with a winged cherub. A truly delightful example of the charm and sophistication of this era, this elegant cameo pin would be the perfect addition to any antique jewellery collection.
The Renaissance period gave rise to a perfection in the carving of Cameo jewellery, though they are known to have existed far before this, with pieces found from the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians. Cameos became popular collectible items through the Victorian age, and by the Edwardian era, highly fashionable as wearable pieces. Today they continue to make an appearance as a timeless token of historical fashion.
“Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”
~ William Shakespeare, Hamlet
