One of the crown jewels of my recent trip to London, this outstanding cameo features a marcasite halo, interlaced with an even larger and more impressive halo of juicy tourmalines with a 9ct bezel and smooth, wonderful reverse. This jewel dates to the 18th century, likely 1760, and is perhaps French in origin; it is very much in line with the work of the time.
