Victorian Three Graces Shell Cameo Mounted in 18K Yellow Gold Etruscan Revival Pin Setting
- In stock, ready to ship
In the 19th century, a slew of archaeological discoveries in Italy spawned a renewed interest in classical history ā including jewelry! This style is called "Etruscan Revival," named for Etruria, an ancient civilization near Rome that predated its founding and influenced its culture.
This cameo is made of shell and features an ornate carving of the Three Graces, daughters of Zeus who bestowed what is most pleasurable and beneficent in nature and society: Euphrosyne (mirth), Aglaia (elegance) and Thalia (youth and beauty).
The cameo is set in an 18 karat yellow gold brooch setting that's outlined in delicate wire and features fine gold granulation. Four small rosettes punctuate the compass points and the pin fastens with an antique C-clasp.
- Metal: 18K Yellow Gold

How to Wear with Care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
