Cameo is a method of carving, features a raised (positive) relief image; contrast with intaglio, which has a negative image. Cameos can be produced by setting a carved relief, such as a portrait, onto a background of a contrasting colour like these stones. This is called an assembled cameo.

Hand carved cameos were popular in the Renaissance, Victorian era and 1970s often depicting Greek Goddesses and Greek Gods as well as universal mythological themes of of love, loss, deception and magic. Originating from the Roma era they were made from stones or shell. Since that time they have come in out of favour dependent on jewellery trends.
