Are they not exquisite?
I have always loved cameos. Probably because my mother had a cameo suite (brooch, pendant, ring, earrings and bracelet) and I was fascinated with it. I loved seeing all the details carved into the shell.
My most favourite tiara is the Swedish royal family’s Cameo tiara
So it is not surprising that I love the vintage ruby, moonstone and amethyst rings below, all from the Etsy shop, Otherwise Engaged.
Are these in your personal collection Janet? They are stunning. I love amethyst and ruby too. Don’t know much about moonstone but I reckon it would make a fabulous crystal ball for gazing/meditation. A few years ago we went to Sorrento which is famous for cameos. A man sits at his bench outdoors carving them. Fascinating and very skilled, and he said to avoid the fashionable blue cameo as they are machine made German fakes.
Sadly no. They would be though, if I had the money! I love cameos!
