Victorian Agate Cameo Brooch/Pendant

A striking example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, this late Victorian brooch/pendant is fashioned in 14K yellow gold and showcases a carved agate cameo portrait in profile. A delicate black enamel border frames the cameo, enhanced with delicate floral motifs that add depth and contrast. The goldwork is further enriched with fine engraving and unique architectural form, lending the jewel an air of grandeur typical of the Victorian aesthetic.

Two lavish gold chain tassels, suspended from the lower edge, bring graceful movement and textural interest to the design. Versatile in form, the jewel is fitted to be worn as either a brooch or pendant, making it as practical as it is ornamental.

Elegant yet dramatic, this jewel embodies the era’s fascination with classical revival imagery, precious materials, and wearable art.
