What is intaglio jewelry?
1 Answer
Intaglio jewelry is jewelry that features a central stone on which an artisan carves artwork on the back. This creates a recessed image when a viewer examines the jewelry from the front. It differs from the raised reliefs on cameo jewelry. Shop a range of intaglio jewelry on 1stDibs.
