The figure appears in right-facing profile, wearing a tall crested helmet with a pronounced neck guard, flowing locks of hair, and a scale-patterned breast covering known as an aegis. The composition continues an established tradition of helmeted Minerva portraits in engraved gems, a subject frequently revisited by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century cameo carvers. Smooth, dimensional modeling of the cheek, neck, and helmet dome contrasts with the sharply articulated crest, individual locks, and overlapping scales across the chest. A narrow polished bezel follows the cameo’s oval outline, while sweeping, symmetrical curves create an airy openwork surround characteristic of the Edwardian taste for delicate, lace-like settings. Rendered in platinum-topped 13k yellow gold, the frame is punctuated by twelve graduated cultured pearls and four old European cut diamonds positioned at the cardinal points, their white tones complementing the bright metal and framing the coral’s warm coloration. A folding round suspension bail completes the pendant’s balanced composition.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWeight: 9.5 Grams\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStone: Carved Coral Cameo\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStone: 0.16ctw Old European Cut Diamonds\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStone: 2–2.6mm Cultured Pearls\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMeasurements: 37 x 24 x 8mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHallmark: 14\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMetal: Platinum-Topped 13k Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eItem #: BR-1965-073126-11\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blue Ribbon Rarities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41426984370248,"sku":"BR-1965-073126-11","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2223\/5059\/files\/DSC_5042-A_4310064.jpg?v=1792540351","url":"https:\/\/www.blueribbonrarities.com\/products\/edwardian-platinum-topped-13k-gold-coral-pearl-and-diamond-cameo-athena-pendant","provider":"Blue Ribbon Rarities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
