Historical Curiosities

Cameos have a long and fascinating history that dates back to ancient Greece and Rome, where they were considered true carving masterpieces. Roman craftsmen used precious materials such as onyx, agate and carnelian to create cameos that depicted deities, mythological figures or portraits of illustrious people. These jewels not only decorated the body, but also served as symbols of social status and power.

During the Renaissance, cameos came back into fashion at the European courts, where nobles and sovereigns collected these precious carvings as an expression of culture and refinement.

In the 19th century, cameos experienced new popularity thanks to Queen Victoria, who often wore jewelry with cameos, making them fashionable among the European aristocracy.
