The use of cameos in necklaces, earrings, bracelets, brooches, and rings is one of the most prolific jewelry motifs used throughout the Victorian Era. Though they pre-date the Victorian era, for the travel-loving Victorians a cameo was a favorite, possibly representing a meaningful souvenir of a Grand European Tour. They were also equally worn between men and women. 

This special pendant features Diana in a delicious taupe-toned canvas. Diana is indicated by her crescent moon halo along with the tendril of hair that comes down and tickles her decolletage.
