The Cameos

I love cameos in all sort of settings.They may not be the real agate cameos but still they evoke the same inspiration to me.
My cameos are made of acrylic/resin.Each are brilliantly molded to every bit of details,almost like it was sculpted!It has to be seen to appreciate its true beauty. 
The 40x30,18x13 and 10x8 cameos are available in vintage style goldtone plated(brass)locket.There is a lovely Victorian design stamped at the back of each lockets and a pretty etching surrounds the front which holds the cameos.Each lockets opens up and holds 2 prized photos.Newly added to the collection are pendant settings and brooches both in silver and goldplating.
The lockets and chain are goldplated.They were treated with lacquer to retard tarnishing as claimed by my supplier.It  should stay bright,but if  worn a lot then the plating will eventually wear off in spots where it is in contact with skin and sweat.All cameos,lockets,settings and chain were imported from  US suppliers.
I take pride in the quality and reasonable pricing of each cameo design.As I would like to strike the same interest to souls out there!

Cameo Primer

The original defintition of a cameo is described as "a carving in relief on a naturally occuring substance"which contains different colored layers.The carving must incorporate the contrasting layers in different aspects of the design;most commonly by differentiating between the background and the foreground.The carvings must be done by hand.According to the free-dictionary(on-line)the definition includes "a medallion with a profile cut in raised relief."

Todays definition of cameos includes intaglios as well.

The cameos in the picture are Vintage made from pine resin,and handcarved using dentist's tools by HEIDI LEE.

       
The most popular cameos today are carved in sea shells,a tradition that begun in the fifiteen or sixteen century and was popularized by Queen Victoria of England.Since that time,cameos have predominantly showcased women's profile,and been worned by women who enjoy the beauty and craftmanship of hand-carved cameos.

The birthplace of cameo was nearly 300 years before the birth of Christ in Alexandria,Egypt,cameos owe their origin to ancient carving traditions.As far back as 15000 B.C,petroglyphs,figures carved into rocks-were used to record significant events and communicate information.About.com
