Cameos
Cameos are making a re-emergence in jewelry fashion. These miniature sculptures often portray a representation of the wearer or depict scenes and symbols of ancient mythology. Shrouded in history, the cameo has much to tell, both culturally and historically. Some say there is even a deeper insight in that it may have served as an amulet, warding off unfriendly spirits as well as keeping one healthy, depending on the material used. Cameos are carved in bas-relief of many materials: sardonyx, quartz, shell, coral, resin, glass and lava to mention a few. I have also included portrait cameos - hand painted and transfers on porcelain.
