The cameo is a relief made on stone or, as in this case, on shell, created by the artisans of Torre del Greco, Naples.  Each cameo is unique, handmade with traditional Italian techniques, and mounted on a 925 silver support.

The meticulous engraving on the cameo is the result of a thousand-year-old tradition, handed down from generation to generation. The choice of an orange cameo not only gives a touch of original and vibrant color to the jewel, but enhances the details of the engraving, creating an elegant and modern contrast with the silver setting.

Historical Curiosities

The cameo is an ancient form of decorative art, dating back to Roman and Greek times, but with roots even further back, in the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilisations. Historically, cameos were carved on hard stones such as agate or coral, depicting nature, deities, mythological figures, portraits of emperors or classical motifs. 

During the Renaissance, the cameo became particularly popular among Italian noble families, and in the following centuries it was a symbol of status among European nobility. Each cameo was handmade by master engravers, whose tools allowed the details to be worked with precision on layers of contrasting colored stone, creating extraordinary images with a three-dimensional appearance
