Cameos
| ine jewelry and costume jewelry are popular with collectors. Signed pieces usually indicate better jewelry, but not necessarily, as quality examples are available without a maker’s mark. Antique jewelry are pieces made prior to 1955, and jewelry made after 1955 are considered collectibles.A fascinating and favorite collectible is the cameo. Cameos are found in pins, pendants, rings and bracelets, molded or cut, precious materials or plastic-a cameo is one of the most popular jewelry items my customers look for. The image can be a famous historic scene or character, or the classic female profile.Carved cameos are generally made of shell that gives a two-tone color. Molded cameos are often made of plastic or glass, and several were made in bakelite (or bake-a-lite, a synthetic resin or plastic ) in the 1950s. Often a cameo is handed-down from a grandmother or great-grandmother as a treasured family heirloom.
