Description: This exquisite 19th c brooch is a true gem. Crafted in Italy with 14k rose gold, it features a rare and finely carved shell cameo depicting a scene from Dante's Divine Comedy. When I first purchased this piece, I thought it was a very nice mythological scene, but upon closer inspection, I noticed Dante's unmistakable profile amongst the figures on the left. I'm in the dark regarding which book from the Divine Comedy this carved cameo depicts, but Dante's inclusion would seem to suggest that that's what is being shown. An unusual cameo. There are about 7-8 grams of gold in the cameo mount, and the cameo itself measures approximately 2 3/8" long, overall the brooch is about 2 3/4" long.
