This pendant/brooch I bought because I like the carving and pale blue and white colors so much in this Agate. The plaque was carved in Germany and I put on a silver mounting because, as I think this color fitch better in comparison with the white and blue of the Cameo.
I show this to you because I like the very beautiful carving for example the hair, face and hands and the elegant scarf that the lady has around her shoulders. Don't you agree?

A most unusual and beautiful cameo! Yes, the hands and drapery are particularly beautiful, and I think the setting complements it beautifully. May I ask how large it is? Thank you! So beautiful.
