Cameos have a rich history dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, where they were carved from gemstones like onyx and sardonyx to depict mythological scenes, rulers, and deities. During the Victorian era, cameos experienced a significant revival, becoming immensely popular as jewelry, particularly brooches and pendants. They were often carved from shell or agate, featuring profiles of women, mythological figures, or allegorical scenes, symbolizing love, beauty, and virtue. The motif of the Three Graces, representing charm, beauty, and creativity, was a common subject in classical art and was frequently depicted in Victorian cameos. These pieces were not only decorative but also carried symbolic meaning, making them cherished personal adornments. The intricate carving and the use of contrasting layers in shell allowed for detailed and lifelike representations, contributing to their enduring appeal among collectors.
