Description
Cameo jewellery can be traced as far back as the third century BC, used also as signet rings, very popular during the Roman era, resurfaced during the Renaissance and then once again popular in the 19th century. Even now, Italy remains the hot spot for cameo engraving. Framed collection – available as brooches or necklaces -with its modern design renews the traditional style of cameos, with a touch of humour and originality. Traditional Cameo usually features a raised relief image, often a portrait contrasting to the background, that’s why this collection of pins or pendants selects black vectorial portraits of artists, musicians or politicians inscripted in oval shape in contrast with the white ceramic surface. The final result is a piece of jewellery with a vintage style but, at the same time, a contemporary appeal.
