Special Care For Cameos

    
Cameos are pieces of art, and must be cared for accordingly. Store your cameo away from heat or bright lights, in a softly lined box, and remember that simple cleaning is probably the best method:

• Dust your cameo regularly with a soft brush.
• While dusting, pay attention to the deep ridges in the cameo where dust is likely to collect. Dust can scratch a cameo, so it is important to keep it as dust-free as possible.
• After dusting you may rinse a shell cameo with warm water, drying it afterward with a soft cotton cloth. Shell cameos are easily damaged, so avoid using soap, harsh cleaners or commercial jewelry cleaners.
• Mother-of-pearl cameos can be cleaned with a mixture of mild soap and warm water before being dried with a soft cloth.

If so, you understand that each and every cameo is a miniature work of art. Whether carved in carnelian shell or the rare sardonyx shell, mother-of-pearl or agate, cameos have an exquisite classic beauty that has held the attention of generations. And cameos make memorable gifts: they're great for graduation, Mothers' Day, Valentines day or your wedding anniversary.
At The Cameo Collection, we sell some of the finest cameos in the world. Imported from the tiny town of Torre del Greco, Italy — which is, to this day, the center of cameo carving in the world — our cameos come directly from master carver Gennaro Borriello, who himself employs fifty trained artisans. This relationship ensures that each hand-carved cameo we sell has been produced by artists whose hands understand the shells they carve and the timeless beauty they create.

Thanks to Anna M. Miller's book Cameos Old & New for these special cleaning suggestions
