- What is a hardstone cameo?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021Hardstone cameos are composed of any hard gemstone material that is intended for detailed carving. A cameo is a gemstone carved in a raised relief that features landscapes, mythological figures, or most notably, portraits of women’s profiles. 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. Find cameo jewelry on 1stDibs.

- What is a coral cameo?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A coral cameo is a piece of jewelry or a decorative object that features a coral gemstone with a face on it. Jewelry makers produce it by carving in high relief onto the surface of the coral. Find a range of coral cameo jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is a lava cameo?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A lava cameo is a medallion made out of dark limestone found around Pompeii, an Italian city that was destroyed by a volcano. Normally, the cameos feature relief sculptures of people shown in profile. They often decorate earrings, necklaces, brooches and other pieces of jewelry.

- What is Roman cameo glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Roman cameo glass is a type of glassware that features raised figures. The term may refer to pieces produced by the Ancient Romans or ones done in the style of classical vases and other objects. You'll find a selection of cameo glass serveware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What a cameo ring represents depends on the piece. The figures shown on some cameo jewelry depict an actual person, such as Queen Elizabeth II.

- 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.
- What Stone is a cameo made of?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A cameo can be made of a variety of stones. Most ancient cameos were made of semi-precious gemstones, namely onyx and agate.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Cameo glass is a luxury form of glass engraved or etched through layers of different colored glass to produce intricate designs. Cameo glass was first seen in ancient Rome and revived in the mid-19th century. Browse a variety of cameo glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell how old a cameo brooch is for certain, you usually need to consult a licensed jewelry appraiser. This is because many authentic pieces do not have marks, and there are many modern reproductions that resemble the antique jewelry. Find a selection of expertly vetted antique cameo brooches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few tell-tale signs you can look for to determine whether your coral is real or fake. One thing you can do is hold your cameo up to the light and look for a silhouette of the design; a real shell will show an outline. You can also try the hot needle test by placing a hot needle on the cameo. If it’s plastic there will be some melting. Shop a collection of authentic cameos from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- Are black pearls real pearls?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Yes, some black pearls are real pearls. Genuine black pearls typically come from Tahiti, sourced from black-lip pearl oysters. Some jewelry features synthetic black pearls created in laboratories. Explore a selection of black pearl jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023There isn't a hard-and-fast rule about whether you should wear pearl earrings with a pearl necklace. While pearl earrings can complement a pearl necklace, you're free to mix and match pieces as you see fit. For example, you might join a multi-strand statement necklace with a pair of simple gold hoops or diamond studs. A dramatic gemstone necklace can be balanced with a pair of understated pearl button earrings. On 1stDibs, shop a large assortment of pearl jewelry.
- What is a pearl clasp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A pearl clasp is an opening and closing device that holds a necklace together - in this case, a pearl necklace. The clasp works by hooking one end of the necklace into the other end and locking in place. Shop a collection of expertly vetted jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Why are pearls so special?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Pearls are so special because they are rare in nature. They form only when something gets inside an oyster or mussel and causes irritation. The mollusk then secretes substances similar to those found on its shell. These harden around the foreign body to create a pearl. Only about one out of every 10,000 wild oysters will ever make a single pearl, and the vast majority of the pearls that occur naturally are too small to use in jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of pearl jewelry.
- Where are pearl earrings from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023No one knows for sure where pearl earrings originated, but scholars have determined that they date back to ancient times. According to surviving records, the ancient Chinese often presented members of royal families with pearls as gifts. During the 1st century B.C., Julius Caesar passed a law stating that only members of the ruling class could wear pearl jewelry. Shop a large collection of pearl earrings on 1stDibs.
