Antique Victorian/Edwardian Carved Shell Cameo Portrait of the Goddess Diana Pendant Wire-Wrapped in 14k Goldfilled Wire

I have wrapped this stunning antique carved shell cameo pendant in 14k goldfilled wire with a swirling design around the bail. This cameo was carved by taking a piece of conch shell and carving through the natural layers to create the figure seen here. This technique is known as "cameo carving" and has been around since ancient times.This pendant would look stunning on anyone and would be a truly one-of-a-kind, unique gift! It is perfect for antique and vintage jewelry collectors or anyone who appreciates works of art! It depicts the Roman goddess Diana, the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, childbirth, and the Moon. You can see a crescent Moon carved at the top of her head among her hair! She is a wonderful symbol of feminine strength and tenacity! I would date this cameo carving to around the late Victorian to Edwardian period (1890s–1915).Please wear her with care as this is a piece of natural carved shell. I would suggest not wearing her with other pendants or chains that would bump
