This cameo was created in the 1960’-1970’s and was retailed in America. A small Midwest family owned company of artisans carved the molds that were used to make these. I was fortunate to meet the man who was one of the last carvers about 10 years ago when he was in his 80’s. He was selling the excess cameos left over from their original inventory. He opened a case and pulled out these gems! They were dusty and forgotten but I could see their charm and beauty through the grime. These were “new, old stock” I rescued from obscurity…cleaned them up, and am bringing them to you!
Gorgeous vintage watch faces make a simple, but stunning statement necklace. They would put a thin laminate of pearl or composite film to achieve this effect. Yes please!
Features:
vintage watch faces. 2 1/2” stacked length / 1 1/2” diameter on larger face
These are so much fun to wear! They slightly sway to catch the light... very eye catching! I sourced these pieces from vintage clip earrings...retro cool!
Two buttons are combined to make this stunner of a bracelet. The small metal button is of a lady’s head and dates from the late 1800’s. The larger button is also antique and was a sew through button with applied metal trim. The two buttons combined are a match made in heaven and a piece you will be delighted to wear!
Cameo jewelry is truly timeless. The style continues to be popular since its creation in Ancient Mediterranean times.
The portrait of this beautiful girl is only made more beautiful by gold filigree, pearls and black rhinestones. It is easy to imagine how loved and revered this woman must have been.
