This beautiful antique 14Kt rose gold hand-carved cameo brooch is an exquisite piece of jewelry that will make any outfit stand out or a stand out in your collection. The oval-shaped cameo depicts a lovely scene of love birds feeding from the same flower and surrounded by flowers and plants, all in a delicate shade of pink or white. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this Victorian (1837-1901) era piece are simply breathtaking.
This handmade Italian cameo brooch is a perfect choice for a wedding or anniversary gift, as it represents the theme of love and romance in such a unique and elegant way. I feel like it was a wedding gift when it was originally purchased or presented to a bride. I can envision the 2" brooch worn high on the neck of a Victorian dress. The metal purity of 14Kt and the use of rose gold add to the charm of this antique piece. Whether you are a collector of vintage and antique jewelry or simply looking for a statement piece to add to your wardrobe, this gorgeous cameo brooch is a must-have.
This is not a piece that scrap or investment gold seekers should consider. The value is in the art work and the 14k gold frame is a testimony that the carving was considered as worthy of a 14k gold frame. The brooch is about 2" wide and weighs grams. The pin back and clasp are not gold.
If you love cameos with a different subject this one might be right for you. My low opening bid start is not a reflection of the value of the cameo. I let collector determine the value. Please ask questions of anything I have not addressed here or in my photos.
