C&S-Cameo_Black Agate

Intricately carved Cameos first appeared around the time of Alexander the Great, in official portraits used as seals. During the Renaissance, their finely crafted designs enhanced the elaborate fashions of the period. The Cameo reached a new height of popularity in the Victorian age as one of the sweetly feminine, sentimental jewels favored by Queen Victoria herself. The timeless and elegant beauty of hand-carved Cameos - a truly classic fashion accessory is one that can be treasured from generation to generation. Beautifully engraved Agate Cameos are now available from Stuller. Produced in Idar-Oberstein, these intricately styled gems come in five designs. Most are offered in 14x10, 18x13, 20x15 and 28x18 millimeter.
