Our newest arrivals are antique cameos from Torre Del Greco, Italy, which is the last cameo carving academy located on the foot of the mount Vesuvius.
These seashell and lava carved goddesses inject little Italian glamour and are the definition of classic.
The school buys their seashells from the sailors who gather them on Mediterranean seashores and beaches. Supremely detailed cameos may take weeks for a master carver to complete.
