Goddess Flora : Antique Coral Cameo Stick Pin in 9ct Gold

An antique stick pin in 9ct gold from the Victorian Era. The large coral cameo is hand carved into the bust of the Goddess Flora – the Roman goddess of flowering plants. She can be identified by the wreath of flowers and leaves in her hair. This piece is quite likely Italian in origin, purchased as a souvenir from a Grand Tour of Europe by one of the fashionable elite.

The natural, undyed coral cameo measures 19.4mm x 12.75mm x 6.2mm. It is bezel set into an unmarked 9ct gold frame with a solid gold pin measuring 66.3mm.
The pin measures 70mm x 12.75mm x 8mm and weighs 3 grams.

This piece could quite easily be converted into a pendant, and it is possible to convert it into a ring too. If this interests you please do get in touch via the Contact Us page to organise a quote for conversion.
