Are old cameos worth money?

1 Answer
Are old cameos worth money?
Yes, some old cameos can be worth money. Pieces with the most value are handcrafted from natural materials, such as gemstones and shells. In addition to materials, the size, type, age, maker and condition of the cameo will influence how much it might sell for. If you'd like to get an idea of the potential value of your cameo, consider consulting a certified appraiser, knowledgeable antique dealer or experienced jeweler. Shop a wide range of cameos on 1stDibs.
