SOLD!

We've never encountered anything quite like this 7ct Gold Victorian "Grecian Goddesses" Lava Cameo bracelet, she is truly unique! Composed of eight beautifully carved cameo ladies, every crevice of this bracelet is brimming with intricate details.   

Lava cameo emerged after the discovery of the buried cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae in the Mid 18th Century, with Lava trinkets fast becoming a popular type of souvenir jewellery. Possession of a piece of Lava cameo was a sure sign of a well-travelled, cultured individual. 

Rich in earthy, neutral tones, this antique statement bracelet with pair wonderfully with any outfit, adding a touch Victorian charm to every look. We just can't believe how exquisite the portraits have remained throughout their lifetime! We believe they depict Grecian goddesses, each portrayed with their respective objects, bedecked in lovely lengths of cloth.
