Vintage 15ct Yellow Gold Large Ornate Cameo Brooch

Product Code: 027-00300
AUD

The Curated Collection highlights the unique and exceptional pieces that stood out among the rest for our GIA qualified gemmologist and Managing Director, Joseph Tattersfield.

"The cameo brooch is one of jewellery’s oldest continuous traditions. Carved in shell or stone, the image raised in relief against a contrasting background, cameos were treasured by the  ancient Romans, revived by the Renaissance, and elevated to high fashion by the Victorians, who wore them pinned at the collar and gave them as tokens of love and status.

This example is exceptional. The carved shell scene, a classical figure of Hercules attended by Hebe symbolising strength perseverance and fidelity, is detailed with the skill of a miniaturist. The ornate 15ct yellow gold frame, with its fine scrollwork and decorative border, provides a setting worthy of the carving it contains.

Large in scale and confident in presence, this is not a brooch for the faint hearted. It is a brooch for someone who knows their own mind - and their own history.
"
