Cameos

[mrs taylor]

I just got my first for my tenth wedding anniversary. I had no idea I loved cameos until I saw this one! Now I want to see MORE. Does anyone here have any to share? Please and thank you.

This is mine. I love it! It's blue agate and onyx in 18k yellow gold. It's a pin but has a bail that flips up so it can be worn as a necklace. It's quite large, and I love the image. It changes so much in different lighting. I just wasn't prepared to be this fascinated.

Mrs. Taylor, congratulations on your anniversary! The cameo is gorgeous , it has a luminescence to it that is just lovely.

 

[mrs taylor]

thank you both!
jewelerman, yes, I'm thinking of a black cord or silk ribbon as well. I think that would look interesting.
artdecogirl, that's what suprised me so much about it! I'm not sure I've seen that before. I love it.

I've never seen a cameo I liked before, but yours is really lovely! Looks like Art Nouveau, must be from that time. The carving is so complex & graceful!

This is my cameo, which my grandmother gave to me. It's not the world's best cameo, but it's from my family, so I treasure it. I'm not really a cameo person, but I can see myself wearing it for something in the future.

I love that cameo, Lotus. How beautiful!

I think I'm going to seek out a black cord. I have another one that My mother bought me for my birthday. It came from the same place-and is new to me, but of course....pre loved. I'll post a photo or two later.

I love wearing them, but I need a sturdier chain.

okay, here's one I took myself with my cell phone....it's hard to take a photo of yourself from this angle!

and two I didn't take myself-my friend did-to show the contrast of the piece in different lighting:

I love this one so very, very much.

Same deal, blue agate with an onyx back in 18k gold.

That's a stunning cameo, mrs. taylor! The shape, design and color are so unusual. It looks like the carving quality is excellent, too.

Those are some gorgeous cameos! I've been looking at local places for an antique cameo necklace or bracelet. I will definitely be looking for something similar to all of yours!
