During the Victorian and Edwardian Eras, the likenesses of ancient soldiers were a popular theme in jewelry, particularly cameos. This wonderful piece is crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, with a deep purple amethyst stone that has the profile of a helmeted man carved into its surface. The style of his headgear appears to be that of a Spanish Conquistador, a romantic figure during the time. With a fold down bale, it can be worn as a brooch or a pendant, and is sure to become one of your favorites the minute you put it on!
