Set in a frame of deep yellow gold, this antique features the colors of Roman sunset! We love this carving, an elegant matron clothed in a toga, with flowers threaded through her hair. Beautifully crafted, this vintage cameo can be worn as a pin or a pendant.
Cameo is the art of carving a layered material, creating a portrait or landscape with the difference in the colors. While traditionally done in shell, banded onyx has been used in cameo work – particularly in Greece and Italy – for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
