Outstanding 19th century carved hardstone cameo set in 18K gold.    The cameo is carnelian with caramel-orange background and relief white carved profile of the god Apollo.  The hardstone cameo is 32mm x 25mm and the entire brooch is 1-5/8" high and 1-1/4" wide.   No marks, jeweler tested and guaranteed solid 18K gold.   Weighs 18.55 grams.   On the inner bottom edge of the gold frame there is a nick, looks like a tiny cut into the gold, barely noticeable and does not affect the thick twisted rope outer frame.  There is no damage to the cameo itself.
