Antique gold brooch/pendant set with a cameo. The cameo features a beautifully carved portrait of a woman. It is finished with an elegant gold frame. The piece is crafted from 14-karat yellow gold (585/1000). Cameo carving is an ancient technique in which a portrait or image is hand-engraved onto an agate or shell. The engraving creates depth and results in a beautiful, realistic depiction. The oldest known cameo dates back over 2,000 years.
