Cameo originate century ego by the time of Roman Empire. The purpose was to memorize the loved one image or to memorize the emperors, the worriers heroes. The first cameo was actually a profile off a emperor, worrier man not a profile of women face, like we all know today. Cameos become fashionably and very popular by 19 century and today the typical is made from plastic manufactured and multiply by millions, the expensive one are laser cut computer design set in gold or silver frames. I have been seen that work and it's amazing precision and beauty but is that "real cameo "I would ask ?
I hand sculpture my cameos from Polymer Clay using dentist tools there is no mold there no two the same There are one of a kind unique pieces. I can also recreate similar cameo face of your loved one from the photo.
Please contact me before your order and please consider it;s all really hand made process so it never will be exactly the same as on the picture
