FAQs

These bracelets were collected by wealthy travellers during the 18th and 19th centuries as souvenirs of cultural expeditions across Italy, featuring carved volcanic ash reliefs depicting classical figures.

The cameos are hand-carved from actual compressed volcanic lava sourced from Vesuvius or Etna, typically mounted in low-grade silver, pinchbeck, or gold-plated settings.

Authentic pieces exhibit a matte, porous texture under magnification, natural colour variations from grey to terracotta, and hand-carved details that lack the uniformity of moulded synthetic resin.

Pair this statement piece with minimalist contemporary tailoring or evening attire to highlight the intricate sculptural details without visual competition.

Lava is a soft, porous material that absorbs liquids easily; therefore, it must never be submerged in water or chemical cleaners, requiring instead a gentle dry brush to remove dust.
