In her book, "Cameos Old & New" Anna Miller said, "Cameos - emperors have commissioned them, kings have acquired them, and at least since the fourth century B.C., collectors have cherished them."
The fine cameo has become a symbol of elegance and beauty. It is often considered among those works of art that emphasize perfection of form and celebrate human beauty and gracefulness.
Cameos traditionally are precious or semiprecious gemstones with carved decoration. A cameo may also be made of shell, which became more common nowadays.
Design motifs may include heads in profile, figures, scenes, etc. Most relief
cameos consist of two or more layers of different colors. The top layer is carved,
and darker lower layer forms a background. Cameos are used as jewelry, including
brooches, pendants, earrings and rings.
I specialize in design and production
of cameos in following subjects: portraits (animal and human), scenic, architectural,
heraldic (certain limits apply)
Each cameo we sell at PAVEL4U is an original work of art signed by the author. Quality of each piece guaranteed.
