Antique Cameo 18K Italian Gold - Who is the lady Of the Picture?

[angeldf]

Hi

This is a Italian cameo pendant. 18K Italian gold. Weight 18Grs, but without the glass may be 12grs or so.

Somebody Knows who is the lady in the picture? I think is a French or Italian famous person, but I want to know the name.

This type of pendants have any collection value? for the design or just the gold value?

There is not any mark on the jewelry piece.

Thank you and have a nice day!

First thought is, Marie Antoinette, but can't be certain. No idea on value, hopefully others will chime in.
Cool find and thanks for sharing.

I was just about the say the same, lol -- likely Marie Antoinette (or Madame Du Barry maybe?).

It's beautiful!

Test the gold and if your lucky it may be gold. I find lots of Italian Gold, it normally is not gold, just plated.

Generally a cameo is a carved figure using multilayer stone or shell, and usually with a silver or gold bezel.

What you have is a picture within a mini- picture frame.

There is no comparison between the two types, therefore not able to place a value.

Breezie, a TN member should be able to provide some insight into antique jewelry of this type.

Hi

Thanks You for your replies. I don't think the lady is Marie Antoinette. Somebody else have another name?

I already test the gold and they told me is 18k, 750 gold. They even said that the gold came only from one mine in Italy in a determinate region. It's a nice color.

I hope Breezie see this post and tell me if have any collection value.

Thank you guys! Have a nice day!

What sort of test did you have done, and what mine did it come from?
