A Unique and Beautiful Quality Bracelet featuring eight graduated Hand-Carved Cameos surrounded by Diamonds in High Carat Gold, c.1880.
Each Cameo has been masterfully Hand-Carved in Volcanic Grey Lava.
Volcanic Lava Jewellery traditionally came from the lava of Vesuvius, which erupted in 79 A.D., destroying Pompeii and Herculaneum. 
This type of Jewellery became popular during the ‘Grand Tour’ days of the English Aristocracy in the 19th century.
In high relief, each is a young woman with curls in her hair and a beatific posture. There are eight in all in different sizes. (from just over 1 inch to 1 ¼ inch long).
They are in mounts of High carat Rose Gold into which sparkling Rose Hand-cut Diamonds are set. 
With twelve old cut Diamonds for each Cameo, the total is 96 Diamonds –approx 2 carats.
On sturdy hinges, the Bracelet is seven inches long (not including the good push-fit clasp) by 1 ¼ inch wide.
The back is also very Beautiful.
In Excellent Condition.
It comes in a Beautiful Quality, Gold-tooled Leather Gift Box, too.
