Cameos are carvings traditionally done on shell or stone. Motifs differ--you might see carved florals, a group of people, the head and shoulders of one person, or perhaps carvings representing figures from mythology
There's a piece of cameo jewelry to suit every taste. The materials cameos are carved from differ, and so do the objects portrayed. From regal felines to flowing female figures, there's surely a piece of cameo jewelry that you'll fall in love with. And since true cameos can be expensive, there are fashion jewelry solutions that give us the look without making us spend the dollars. 
Cameo collectors may want to keep a back-up copy of "Cameos Old and New" handy, because a single copy will eventually become dog-eared with use. The author has written a textbook that contains answers to nearly any question you could ask about cameos, but the book isn't just hard facts, it's an absorbing history lesson, too. Looking at ancient cameos and reading the myths and folklore associated with them helps bring those cultures back to life.
