This vintage pendant features a finely carved shell cameo depicting the mythological scene of Ganymede with Zeus, a rare and meaningful subject in cameo artistry. Ganymede was a Trojan prince renowned for his beauty, who was abducted by Zeus.

The cameo is framed in an ornate 14k yellow gold setting, enhancing its classical beauty with intricate gold detailing. Its combination of mythology, hand-carving, and gold craftsmanship makes it a highly collectible piece. A unique pendant that embodies timeless elegance and historical artistry, perfect for antique jewelry collectors and enthusiasts of Greek mythology.
