This beautifully carved cameo came to us with no setting, and was most likely from a jeweler's stock of unworn elements. We have had it set in a simple 14 karat yellow gold frame with a generous bale, perfect for a chain or ribbon. The scene illustrates a man and woman on a boat that could be Nordic. A larger ship can be seen in the background. Probably settlers traveling the waters to a new life, they hold onto each other in unity. Sentimental and sweet, it will be a prize in your antique cameo collection!
