The cameo is a relief made on stone or, as in this case, on shell (Sardonic). It is finely hand-carved and depicts a female profile or a subject inspired by mythology. The unique characteristic of each single cameo, data from the hands of the Campanian engravers, is what makes this jewel perfect for making one feel unique who wears it. And it is precisely this difficulty of carving that makes this jewel precious.

Historical Curiosities 

The cameos have a fascinating history that dates back to antiquity, particularly to the Greek and Roman eras. These small masterpieces of carving were used as status symbols and were often set in jewelry or used as amulets.

The ancient Romans were known for their love of cameos, which often depicted mythological scenes or illustrious characters.

The orange cameo, in particular, was highly appreciated during the Victorian era, when jewelry decorated with cameos was worn by noble women as a symbol of elegance and refinement.

Wearing a cameo ring today means carrying with you a millennia-old artistic tradition, a piece of history that continues to shine through time.
