Yellow Gold Cameo Ring- "Portrait of a Lover"

A rich yellow-gold double-banded bezel holds this statement-sized cameo of a beautiful woman. The details and band are simple and nondescript so the hand-carved portrait can take center stage.

The history of cameo jewelry runs deep, all the way back to Egypt. However, in Egypt and Rome, early cameo jewelry was carved out of agate or onyx for the upper class and glass for people who could not afford semi-precious stones. This cameo is carved from shell, a distinct method that came out of the Renaissance, though the height of their popularity occurred during the Victorian era.
