Exquisitely charming, this hand carved lava cameo is master craftsmanship at work. It is set in 14k yellow gold. The intricate carving of this beauty is further enhanced in its 3-d style. The serene portrait, in a coal black lava color, of this aristocratic young woman is the essence of romance. An interesting historical tid bit is that cameos like these have been traditionally referred to as "lava" cameos. However, they are not actually carved in lava, but rather the dark colored limestones that are indigenous to the region around Pompeii. The portrait is enhanced with decorative adornments around the face and 3 elongated oval fringes bringing the drama. It weighs 26.14 grams.
