This 14k yellow gold bracelet is set with fifteen coral cameos of various sizes. The cameos are set in such a way that some face upwards and others downwards, making it look interestingly from every angle, no matter on which wrist you wear it.
The largest cameo is a depiction of Psyche, the lover of Cupid, who can be recognized by her two small butterfly wings on the bottom right. Five of the largest cameos depict putti that are playing a variety of instruments. Eight smaller cameos depict ladies ‘en profil’, and the last cameo, which is set on the clasp, depicts the fede symbol of two hands clasped together.
