Historical Curiosities

Cameos have a long tradition that dates back to antiquity, in particular to Greece and Rome, where they were made of precious materials such as onyx, coral and the carnelian. The craftsmen of the time were renowned for their carving skill, creating small masterpieces depicting deities, mythological scenes or portraits. During the period of the Roman Empire, cameos were highly appreciated by the nobility and were worn as a symbol of social prestige and power.

During the Renaissance and during the Victorian period, cameos returned to the fore, especially among royal families and the high aristocracy. These jewels were considered symbols of culture, wealth and refinement.
