Silver earrings with Cameo

These earrings are crafted by artisans in Torre del Greco, Naples. Each cameo’s uniqueness, created by Campanian engravers, makes this jewellery a special expression of individuality. A cameo is a relief carved on stone or, as in this case, on shell.

The symbolic meaning of this object is vast and changes according to different historical periods. Even the ancient Romans developed the art of engraving on stones. In more recent times, Cameo was mainly used by wealthy families, who had family portraits engraved on it. It was often also used as good luck charm.
