#SCB516E SOLD



The term cameo originally meant carving a design into a single material in bas-relief. They were usually done using shell, stone or other material. Indications are that cameos were first carved in the 15th or 16th century
where the subject matter was derived from the Greek and Roman period.  However, popularity flourished during the reign of Queen Victoria

Intaglio jewelry is reverse cut from a cameo , cut from the back and sometimes highlighted with handpainting, enamels or other colored glass or gemstone.

A beautiful pink shell cameo bracelet set in 14K white gold includes three cameos (all different).  The center cameo is 1-3/4 x 1-1/4". The other two are smaller. All are facing right. The detail and shade on these is exemplary and they reflect the softness that is always associated with cameo jewelry.  A very comfortable fit on the wrist and the ability to extend the length with just the addition of an O-ring makes this a very desirable bracelet.  The perfect gift for yourself or another.
 


Custom made cameo by Nostalgique is 2" in diameter with a goldtone vintage metal profile on deep ine background and rose pink rhinestone accents.

Deeply carved black bakelite cameo is 2 x 2-1/2" with finely detailed carving.
