Description

The present necklace from the middle of the 19th century announces the unbroken enthusiasm for antiquity, which gripped Europe since the Renaissance. On a chain made of gold, the piece of jewellery presents a beautiful pendant made of gilded silver. In its center we see an oval cameo. The finely cut genuine Mediterranean coral shows a young lady in wonderful plasticity. Curly hairstyle and peblos are reminiscent of Roman reliefs, which served here as a model, after all, this is a work that was almost certainly created in the Bay of Naples. While cameos in shell are quite common, those in coral are much more precious, since a large, homogeneous piece of coral is necessary to make a carving. The setting of the cameo is openworked and shows finely worked vine leaves and tendrils. A movable suspended pendulum with faceted coral beads appears like delicious fruit. A wonderful piece of jewellery, a fine carving in the rare medium of the coral cameo. Collectible!
