Regular price
$468.00
Presented is a nice antique carved hardstone cameo pin done in 14K gold. The cameo is beautifully carved with a Homer type character. The quality of the carving is excellent. The cameo is securely prong set in 14K gold. The
original clasp has been replaced with a modern clasp, but this will make the pin
more secure. The pin was definitely made in the 19th century, most likely in the 1870s to 1880s.
The pin is not marked. We have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be 14K gold.
The condition is excellent. The stone is in remarkably good shape. There are no chips, no cracks, no splits, no breaks, and no repairs.
The pin measures 7/8 inch by 2 1/4 inches.
