Antique 14K Yellow Gold Cameo Shell Athena Roman Greek Large Oval Brooch Pin/ Pendant Necklace This is a lovely, deeply carved, shell cameo of an Athena Goddess in a soft cream color with a light background set high in a 14k solid thick yellow gold frame with large edge. The marking on the brooch could not be found so it was tested with both acid tester and KEEGOLD tester machine. The image and quality of the carving are beautiful and the oval pin / pendant for necklace (combination piece) is very eye-catching. It is 53mm high and 40mm wide and weighs 23 grams. It has a bail at the top that allows it to be also worn as a pendant. The gold chain necklace is not included, but it can be purchased separately! In good pre-owned condition.
