The most popular cameos today are carved in sea shells, a tradition that began in the fifteenth or sixteenth century and was popularized by Queen Victoria of England. Since that time, cameos have predominately showcased women's profiles, and been worn by women who enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship of hand-carved cameos. Yet cameos have not always been decorative jewelry for women. In fact, at different points in history they have been worn as frequently by men. While the birthplace of the cameo was nearly 300 years before the birth of Christ in Alexandria, Egypt, cameos owe their origins to ancient carving traditions. As far back as 15,000 BC, petroglyphs âe" figures carved into rock âe" were used to record significant events and communicate information. In ancient times people used cameos to depict an ethic or moral, or to make a statement about their faith or loyalties.This is one of the most beautiful cameos I have ever seen and I hate to part with it, but I am having some financial difficulties and have to sell some of my favorite pieces. I never even wore this because I didn't have the right kind of chain. I paid a lot of money for this piece particularly because of it's shape, quality, beauty, and I suppose I should mention the diamond necklace that she is also wearing around her beautiful neck. It is done in all 14k gold, no plating. If you have any questions, feel free to email me asap so I can answer them for you. Oh, it has a flip up bail to wear as a pendant, or you can put the bail down and wear it as a pin. I did some research and I found some cameos on ebay that are near this quality. Check them out also. They are: 190221223342, that one is $399 and is very similar...Do your homework and you will see that this is a treasure.!!!
