GOOD TO KNOW: Due to the hand-carved quality of each cameo, you may see slight variations in the color and design of each unique piece. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Sardonyx shell cameos care the most rare and valuable; this is because sardonyx shells grow at a very slow rate, and therefore they are not harvested in abundance. A limited number of sardonyx shell cameos are produced every year. Sardonyx shells are desirable due to the color pigmentation. Sardonyx has a pure white mid layer and a beautiful deep red to chocolate brown interior. This provides each cameo with a striking color contrast adding to its elegance.
