Looking at the History of Vintage and Antique Cameo Jewelry
Vintage and antique cameo jewelry is trending among celebrities and style setters. What makes these little carved jewels so endearing?
Regardless of how a cameo jewelry resurgence came to be, their significance and fascinating, expansive history has made them a popular item among collectors and jewelry aficionados. A cameo is a gemstone carved in a raised relief that features landscapes, mythological figures, or most notably, portraits of women’s profiles. Real, authentic cameos are made from natural material and gemstones such as: onyx, sardonyx, agate, ivory, coral and lava. These hand-carved, detailed reliefs are typically set in gold or silver and used to adorn pieces of jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, pendants and rings.
Many of the earliest forms of cameo can be traced back to prehistoric petroglyphs, used to depict religious figures and mythological images onto rocks. With the rise of the Roman Empire, cameo craftsmen began to expand upon their uses and portrayed political portraits into their artwork.
From there, cameo carving greatly progressed during the Renaissance and Elizabethan periods where elite women started to don cameos to showcase their cultural status. However, the most well-known era for the collection and distribution of cameos was inspired by royal cameo collectors Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Queen Victoria during the 19th century — lockets enclosed with hair, cameos depicting cupid or a loved one’s face and enamel pieces are popular examples of what historians call the Romantic period of Victorian jewelry.
Cameo jewelry values vary significantly depending upon the intricacy of the carving and authenticity of the piece. High-quality, one-of-a-kind cameo can cost upwards of $10,000; however, cameo knock-offs can be quite inexpensive.

Questions About Cameo Jewelry
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a cameo and an intaglio is the texture of the carving. Both terms describe gemstones that have been carved, but the detailing differs. On a cameo, the decorative image protrudes from the gemstone's surface because the artisan cut away material. With an intaglio, the artisan instead cuts into the stone, creating a recessed design. On 1stDibs, shop a range of cameo and intaglio jewelry.
- Is cameo jewelry worth anything?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Yes, some cameo jewelry is worth something. Generally, genuine Victorian cameos that feature shells or precious stones are the pieces worth the most. The maker, age, style and type will also affect the value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can inspect your jewelry and give you an estimated valuation. Find a wide range of cameo jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What are cameos made of?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024What cameos are made of varies. During the Victorian age, when cameos were most popular, artisans produced them out of an array of natural materials, including mother-of-pearl, shells, agate, ivory, onyx and coral. Modern-day reproductions may feature resin or other man-made materials. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of cameos.
- What era is cameo jewelry from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Cameo jewelry is usually associated with the Victorian era. However, the jewelry style dates back to ancient times when the Romans wore jewelry that showed faces in bas-relief. During the 19th-century, cameo jewelry saw another surge in popularity due to renewed interest in classical art and architecture. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of cameo jewelry.
