A Rare Masterpiece of Victorian Mythology: Antique Italian Conch shell Cameo 7-Panel Bracelet.
Lovingly hand-carved, each of the seven panels features intricate scenes of Roman gods and goddesses, their chariots racing across the heavens, symbolizing the days of the week — a true homage to both mythology and the art of cameo carving.
The cameos are masterfully sculpted in natural conch shell, showcasing a remarkable contrast between the warm peach background and the raised ivory-white figures. Each cameo is securely set in finely detailed 800 silver frames, reflecting the exceptional artistry of 19th-century Italian jewelers.
✨ The seven deities depicted:
*Monday: Diana, goddess of Hunting and Chastity, riding with grace and poise.
*Tuesday: Mars, the fierce god of War, charging forward in his mighty chariot.
*Wednesday: Mercury, god of Trade and Protector of Thieves, speeding across the sky.
*Thursday: Jupiter, father of the gods, radiating power and authority.
*Friday: Venus, goddess of Love and Beauty, gliding with divine elegance.
*Saturday: Saturn, god of Agriculture, a nod to the cycles of growth and harvest.
*Sunday: Apollo, god of the Sun, Art, and Medicine, shining in his full glory.
The bracelet is fitted with a secure box clasp and safety chain, ensuring it remains safely in place when worn. All seven panels are fully intact, with no damage or missing links — an exceptional condition for a piece of this age and rarity.
