Antique Cameo Prince & Princess Warrior brooch and pendant

THis is one huge fabulous carved cameo with a warrior prince and his princess with crown. It has amazing detail and high relief. It measures 2 1/4" long. Guessing from the shape of the nose and the hinge, I would say this is turn of the century. This is its original setting with brass beaded bezel. The closure was a C clasp but at some point in its life, it was professionally changed. This also has the original pendant loop on the back. The hinge is still original to help date this. . It is a most amazing piece that is certainly going to be the focal point of any outfit.
