Antique cameo jewellery often features famous motifs. Those who could afford jewellery were generally classically educated, and so many philosophers and emperors, as well as goddesses and poets, can be found on the cameo rings and brooches of past generations. However, this cameo, set in a gold brooch, shows that more profane motifs were also common. Finely cut in black and white layered stone, we see the back portrait of a young lady. Her hair is pinned up in an elaborate curl and she has turned her head to the left. The oval gem is held in a setting of 14-karat yellow gold, whose powerful spiral tendrils reflect the formal language of late Art Nouveau. Whilst the layer stone was probably cut in Idar-Oberstein, the goldsmith's work was created in the Netherlands in the years after 1906, as evidenced by the hallmark. A fine carving from around 1910 with a graceful motif!
