Cameo Jewelry by Victorian Collection
A cameo is beautiful and rare collection of antique jewelry, Victorian and Edwardian cameo featuring a cameo. This authentic antique cameos are carved in putty lava, green lava, Sardonyx, shell, pale pink (angelskin) coral, red (noble) coral, orange (peach) coral, bronze, and even a very ordinary piece of tortoise-shell native turtles.
Cameos of gems formed by the art of stone carving in relief with layers of multiple colors, thus forming an image on a light or dark land, where the faces, draperies, and the hair is represented by different tints. Onyx, Sardonyx, and Chalcedony is a stone most commonly used for cameos, though every stone prone cutting can be used. Design lines drawn on the stone of the appropriate size model in wax, which had been copied from an image is enlarged, the jewel that is etched by a cameo-cutter with a diamond point fixed on a kind of fly wheel. Process for cameos is one that requires skill and care, while it is very slow and laborious, and not strange that rival the cost of finely cut diamond selected cameos, which, shining as it may be, can never accommodate their place of work of art.
