Cameo Appearance

Cameos are an ancient art form that continues today, with artisans who still hand carve typically working in specific regions in Italy. Dating a cameo takes thoughtful considerations. There are a few historical markers but much of it is left to educated guesswork. Adoring these beauties, you can't help but wonder who created them and on which occasions. The subject or location is often unknown bringing an extra element of mystery to the pieces. As mementos of time, place, and person, they remind the wearer and observer alike the importance of remembrance, be it personal, historical, or both.
