• Color: Blue

• Weight: 1.22gm
• Shape: Human figure
• Cut: Lava-cameo
• Color: Brown
• Provenance/Details: A victorian lava cameo is a carved relief made from volcanic “lava stone,” most famously associated with jewelry produced around naples/torre del greco and sold widely in the 19th century as grand tour–style souvenirs. the roman matron subject shows an idealized classical woman—often with a dignified profile, arranged hair, and draped clothing—meant to evoke virtues like honor, modesty, wisdom, and status in the roman world. because lava is lightweight yet carvable, these cameos are often set in gold or gold-filled frames and valued for their crisp classical profiles, soft earthy color, and strong connection to victorian fascination with antiquity.

• Weight: 1.17gm
• Shape: Round
• Cut: Mosaic

Pure gold is a soft, malleable metal and so Just like the ancient goldsmiths who used grains, sand and wood to provide structural integrity to their pieces, Gurhan uses today's versions of these substances to enable the hollow forms, like balls and lentils, ring shanks and large links, to retain their intended shapes. If a piece is made with either air or an organic filler inside, we denote it as 'hollow' so that you always know what you are buying. See our Quality Standards.
