VTG 1800s 14K Gold Cameo Brooch & Earrings Set Grand Tour Roman Classical Beauty
$ 595.00
What you’ll love about this exquisite antique cameo set is how it captures 19th-century Italian artistry — a hand-carved Sardonyx shell portrait cameo in solid 14K gold, depicting a refined Roman-style woman. A true Grand Tour heirloom with remarkable detail and a warm golden glow that flatters every complexion and outfit.
Condition
Excellent antique condition. Very minimal, natural stress marks in the shell visible only under bright light — smooth to the touch, not structural, expected with 19th-century shell cameos. Gold settings remain strong and secure.
Fit Snapshot
Brooch features a working pin clasp and hidden bail for pendant wear.
Earrings are secure screw-back style, comfortable and classic for Victorian-era pieces.
Provenance Note
High-quality shell cameos were desirable Grand Tour souvenirs in the late 1800s, often purchased by wealthy travelers in Italy. The classical coiffure and elegant profile reflect the Neoclassical revival that swept fine jewelry during the Victorian period.
