This elegant group of twelve miniature cameos were acquired from a European estate collection and purchased at auction from a Hong Kong auction house. The craftsmanship of this set highlights the Victorian attention to detail and the warm hues of the shell and banded agate provides a pleasing contrast to the white relief. The small size of these antique beauties makes them a collectible artifact of Victorian decorative arts and/or a perfect highlight for contemporary jewelry making. They are well-preserved cameos. The reliefs remain sharp, with natural variations in shell and agate. No modern restoration.
