Cameo jewelry is iconic and has made a huge comeback! A cameo is a material that is carved with a raised relief that often depicts a profile of a face. Cameos and intaglios are works of art, with every cameo slightly different from the other.
These cameos are more than just a piece of jewelry. Each is a work of art and should be appreciated and valued as such. These relief carvings are tiny sculptures by the hand of an artist.

Taking Care of Your Cameo Jewelry
Cameo jewelry needs to be taken care of to maintain its value and to prolong its life. Always wash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive detergents. Do not use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner on your cameo and don’t allow your cameo to sit too long in water.
When not in use, store separately in a soft cloth, away from other items that could scratch it and free from dust.
Because cameo jewelry can tend to dry out or crack, it is recommended to oil the piece ever few months. Use a soft cloth to first wipe away any dust and then using your fingers, gently rub the oil over the piece. Afterwards, wipe the oil off the piece. Avoid using olive oil as it can tend to discolor the cameo. It is advised to use mineral oil as this does not pose any potential harm to your cameo jewelry.
It is well worth taking these steps to preserve your cameo, as a high-quality cameo can be a heirloom that will be handed down the generations.
