Description
1.96*1.26cm Wt:3.13g
Edwardian jockey-subject cameo brooch, circa 1890-1901. Relief-carved from solid moonstone exhibiting soft adularescence. Owing to the brittleness of moonstone, carved cameos of this material are scarce; mounted in gold with diamond accents. The jockey’s cap and costume enriched by blue enamel accented with diamonds. Jockey-racing cameos are scarce, mostly commissioned for horse-racing enthusiasts. Finely carved, in good preserved condition.
