Antique Victorain, Edwardian Shell Cameo, Diana in 15K Gold

Jewelry : Antique

 

Diana, or Luna, Roman goddess of the Moon, animals, and hunting (earth’s moon). ... also known as Diana, Phoebe, Selene, or Cynthia; goddess of the Moon. This is our subject for this magnificently hand carved Victorian era shell cameo. She's also known as the mother goddess, a sensual figure - great subject for a gift or sentimental piece for childbirth, mothers everywhere - or equally for the 'huntress' career woman you love. Might be you! Definitely the work of an Italian master, the detail to her fur cape and her form are superb. The condition of this one is excellent throughout. The 15K gold mounting helps us identify this as a Victorian to Edwardian era piece, as does the quality of the shell cameo itself. Just as you see her, but even more beautiful in her own scale as opposed to being so greatly enlarged by our images. But we want you to see each detail in this elegant old brooch/lavalier combo jewelry item. These were over-the-top expensive last month in Italy, particularly these beautiful older ones. Buy your cameo here and pretend it is your souvenir of your trip. Makes your dollar look FAR better against that euro, let me tell you! Enjoy!
