Details: This charming and beautifully rendered profile of a young man evokes the classic Greco-Roman sculpture of bygone eras. The three-dimensional portrait floats on an 18k background wearing a crown of diamonds in his hair. The softly burnished finish on the gold add a feeling of depth and texture to this tiny sculpture; there is a lovely double row of twisted gold detail around the portrait and the backside is clean, perfect for engraved message, name and date.   

Throughout history an addiction to cameos has appeared several times: it blossomed in Hellenistic and Roman times, flourished during the Renaissance and expanded in the 19th century. In the last few years the demand for cameo appearances on red carpets and in fashion magazines show that cameo admiration is coming to a new peak.

Measurements: 1.4" drop from the bale, .8" wide. weighs 8.9g
