Cameo originate so many century ego about the time of Roman Empire. Then the purpose was to memorize the image of the loved one, honor the worriers hero or the emperors, . The first cameo was actually a profile of a man/emperor, worrier man, not a profile of women face, like we all know today. Cameos become fashionably and very popular by 19 century. Today the typical cameo is made from plastic manufactured and multiply by millions. The expensive one are laser cut and computer design and set in gold or silver frames. I was fortuned to whiteness, in one of the jeweler shows in Java center in NY city haw that is done , and it's amazing precision and beauty but is that "real cameo "I would ask ? and yes you can multiply the design by millions too ....
My cameo faces are hand sculpture with Polymer Clay . I hand carve the design using dentist tools, there is no mold, there no two the same, there are One of a Kind unique pieces. I can also recreate for custom order similar cameo face of your loved one from your photo. Please contact me before your order and please consider that is all really hand made process so it never will be exactly the same as on the picture
