This lovely piece is in very good condition.
The pin is tested as at least 9ct gold and presents as a pale rose gold. The lava cameo is well detailed and set within a 9ct gold mount with a rope edge border. Looking carefully at the back of the piece it can be seen that the pin and backing has been applied to the cameo and its antique setting. I would suggest that at some stage the cameo was an earring turned into a pin. It is cleverly and neatly done and has given the piece a new life.
The cameo has good detail and shows no damage. The newer pin is smooth and has no faults.
The cameo is 13mm x 11mm. The gold pin is 60mm long. It weighs 2.05gms.
