FAQs

A shell cameo brooch is a piece of jewellery created by carving a relief design into a natural sea shell, exploiting the contrasting color layers of the shell material to highlight the subject matter.

Traditional cameos are carved from helmet or conch shells, hardstones like agate and onyx, or glass paste, and are typically set into yellow gold, silver, or gilt metal frames.

Authentic shell cameos display subtle natural growth lines, slight asymmetry from hand-carving under magnification, and translucent properties when held up to a light source.

A cameo brooch can be styled on the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the collar of a button-down shirt, or pinned to a silk scarf to add a focal point to contemporary outfits.

Clean shell cameos gently using a soft, dry cloth or a mild soapy water solution on a cotton swab, avoiding harsh chemicals, submerging in water, or exposure to extreme heat which can cause cracking.
