A reinterpretation of a great classic - the cameo. This necklace features a sterling silver replica of a real hand-carved shell cameo on a beaded garnet necklace (3 mm beads of rhodolite garnet)

This cameo depicts Psyche, the Greek goddess of soul and consort of Eros/ Cupid. In the Victorian era, Psyche, willing to risk death and to go, literally, to the end of the earth in order to be reunited with her beloved Cupid, epitomised the womanly virtues of devotion and constancy in love.

In cameo code, Psyche's main attributes are butterflies and butterfly wings. Here, she sports pair of wings on her head, leaving no ambiguity about her identity.

D i m e n s i o n s:

* total length of the necklace is 45 cm (~ 18 inch)
* the silver cameo measures 24 x 20 mm.

All metal is sterling silver.

The necklace is ready to ship and will arrive beautifully packed in all-black customised box.
