Creating a hardstone cameo of this caliber requires immense technical skill, as the artist must painstakingly carve away the dark upper layer to reveal the stark, high-relief white classical profile beneath without fracturing the dense stone. An etched artisan signature on the reverse indicates a piece of singular origin, further cementing its rarity and collectability. The cameo is securely bezel-set in solid 14k yellow gold and surrounded by a glowing halo of authentic pearls. An attached C-clasp on the reverse allows the piece to be worn beautifully as a statement pin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecs\u003cbr\u003e Maker\/Artist: Signed by artisan (Etched signature on reverse)\u003cbr\u003e Year Made: 1900s\u003cbr\u003e Materials: 14k Yellow Gold, Hardstone Agate, Genuine Pearls\u003cbr\u003e Dimensions: 1.25\" H x 1\" W x 0.5\" D\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eThe brooch remains in excellent antique condition with a secure pin clasp and minor surface wear consistent with age.
