Product Details

Add an investment-grade piece of master lapidary artistry to your collection with this premium vintage hardstone cameo pendant. Unlike common, lightweight shell or plastic reproductions, this substantial piece is masterfully carved from a solid, thick block of genuine natural banded carnelian agate. Weighing a notable 15.88 grams, this exquisite hardstone showcase features an ultra-crisp, high-relief classical profile portrait of a woman looking to her left. The master carver beautifully utilized the natural, parallel mineral strata of the agate to make the creamy-white portrait stand out in stark, elegant relief against the rich, deep carnelian-orange background layer. The minimalist design foregoes a bulky frame, allowing the polished stone to take center stage. It features a top-drilled mounting fitted with a secure gold-tone loop and jump ring bail, making it ready to slide onto your favorite sterling chain or heavy vintage cord. Because it is genuine hardstone, this pendant offers a lifetime of durability, brilliant vitreous luster, and permanent historical charm.
