FACTS & HISTORY: Italian cameos have a rich history, tracing back to ancient times and evolving through various periods, with a particular emphasis on the 19th century and the Victorian era.
Popular during the Georgian and Victorian periods, cameos were highly prized as souvenirs, cultural symbols, and wearable art, often depicting mythological figures, portraits, or nature scenes. Shells became a favored medium, with Torre del Greco, near Naples, becoming a major center for cameo production.
