Cameo En Habille Detailed Frame Pendant Brooch 14K
This stunning Art Deco-era Victorian revival pendant/brooch is a true masterpiece, handcrafted in 14K white gold. The intricate filigree frame is beautifully adorned at the corners with tiny heart-shaped faux Emerald. At the center, a carved Victorian beauty is adorned with a Diamond necklace and earrings, with a sweet bird perched on her shoulder. This exquisite piece is an example of “Cameo en Habille,” or “dressed cameo” in French, where the carved figure is depicted wearing additional gemstones, essentially “dressing up” the cameo portrait with a necklace and earrings for added elegance. The two old mine cut Diamonds, totaling .12 carats, bring an extra sparkle to this extraordinary design. Measuring 1-15/16″ x 1-1/2″, this versatile pendant/brooch is in excellent estate condition with minimal wear. Pictured as received from a local estate, it is available for polishing and cleaning at no additional cost—just mention your request in the comments at checkout.
