Displaying a combination of both exquisite intaglio and relief carving, this cameo pendant combines the glory of the Classical age with the refinement of the Victorian era. The pendant is also convertible, allowing one to remove the bale and wear the sophisticated cameo as a brooch. The carved stone depicts a couple in a passionate embrace, rendered in a neoclassical style. Large arches form the setting, and the man grasps a tall spear as the lovers lock eyes. The passionate scene is encircled by a halo of white diamonds, totaling approximately 4.50 carats. Set in 18K yellow gold.
