Georgian Athena Cameo With Marcasite and Flat Cut Garnets Sterling silver antique piece fashion jewelry was reduced toOne of the crown jewels of my recent trip to London, this outstanding cameo features a marcasite halo, interlaced with an even larger and more impressive halo of juicy tourmalines with a 9ct bezel and smooth, wonderful reverse. This jewel dates to the 18th century, likely 1760, and is perhaps French in origin; it is very much in line with the work of the time. Perhaps has has the brooch fitting re done, and has a line at the top, a delicate impact.
