Iron oxide inclusions create red flecks on this dark green jasper stone. Expertly carved in intaglio, the piece depicts a Greek woman with classically styled hair, gathered beneath a headband and crowned above. The pendant swivels, revealing a smooth, uncarved reverse. Its 14k gold frame is beautifully adorned with intertwined curls. A elegant example of Victorian jewelry.
