The originate of cameos going back to the time of Roman Empire. The purpose was to memorize the image of the loved one, honor the worrier's hero, the emperors. The first cameo known was actually a profile of a two man/emperor, worriers' man, not a profile of women face, like it is so popular today. They become very fashionably by 19 centuries. Today the typical cameo is made from plastic mold, manufactured and multiply by millions. The more expensive one is computer design and laser cut in stones and set in gold or silver frames.
My cameo faces are hand sculpture with Polymer Clay. I hand carve the design using dentist tools, there is no mold, there no two the same, there are One of a Kind unique pieces. I can also recreate for custom order similar cameo face of your loved one from your photo. Please contact me before your order and please consider that is all really handmade process so it never will be exactly the same as on the picture
