Cameos originated in ancient Greece dating back to the 6th century B.C. The Romans were the first to appreciate and adopt aspects of the Classical Greek culture, including cameo jewelry. Again during the Renaissance period the artistry of Classical culture became popularized, as did cameos.
The Ancient Greeks has long been considered a golden age in human civilization for the arts and sciences. The artistry of Greek sculptures is among the most notable of their many accomplishments. This cameo captures the Classical dedication to beauty and style that originated centuries ago and still thrives today in modern culture.
