{"product_id":"double-cameo-tigers-eye","title":"Vintage Carved Tiger's Eye Double Portrait Cameo Two Helmeted Figures 16x12mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden tiger's eye with two male figures carved side by side in high relief cameo style — both shown in profile, each wearing a helmet with decorative scroll detail, with beard and layered armor or draped garment visible on the shoulders. The double portrait format is rare in carved gemstones and significantly more demanding to execute than a single figure, requiring the carver to balance two compositions within the same stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chatoyancy on this piece is exceptional. The golden silky bands run directly across the faces of both carvings, shifting as the stone moves in light and giving the portraits a warmth and depth that flat-polished stones cannot match. The edges of the stone are left in their natural rough state rather than polished, adding to the raw, substantial character of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRectangular form with natural edges, 16x12mm, 9.90 carats. From the retired jeweler's personal collection, pre-1974. Loose and unmounted, ready to be set in a pendant, brooch, or large ring.
