A cameo is a carving that is made on a precious stone or other cheaper material with a delicate figure. Usually the cameo showed in high relief the figure or face of a woman or an important personage.
Over time, other types of cameos were made, while maintaining delicate shapes. The cameo is considered to be an accessory that despite being very old, and having ups and downs in the past, is still a garment of sublime beauty, especially if they are made of expensive materials. They are part of women's fashion and having one represents elegance and sophistication.
Today's market has opened up to the possibilities of manufacturing with different shapes and even leaving the level of handmade goldsmithing to use specialised machines, which detracts from the value of most, increases the products made by an artisan, and broadens the possibility of sales around the world.
