Victorian Agate Cameo Enamel Yellow Gold Necklace/Brooch c1880

An ornate and finely detailed agate cameo is the centerpiece for this impeccable Victorian necklace. Wisps of black enamel highlight the detailed engraving and a small, round locket is cleverly concealed on the back, as is a pin back, so the pendant may be worn as a brooch. The hand made chain is an unbroken and rather elaborate design and detaches from the brooch with small levers. This is an outstanding example of fine antique jewelry! The chain measures 20 inches in overall length and the pendant/brooch measures 2 inches tall, by 1.5 inches wide.
