NWT SWEET ROMANCE USA Intaglio Cameo Necklace 20"

New With Tag SWEET ROMANCE USA Sweet Romance jewelry is designed by Shelley Cooper and crafted by a team of artists in their California studio that created this stunning Intaglio Cameo Necklace This gorgeous unique necklace has 5 intaglios with neo-classical portraits, 2 round clear glass intaglios, 2 rectangle amber glass intaglios, and one round green glass intaglio in the center. All 5 intaglios are set into a sculptural bezel with an open back permitting light to fill the intaglio and illuminate the images which are also enhanced by a beautiful 20" segmented beaded brass chain with clusters of amber and clear crystals, creating an amazing timeless antique style work of art... The intaglio, also called a reverse cameo is handmade, using the very same process used by Bohemian glass makers of the last centuries. The word "intaglio" is Italian and comes from the Italian verb "intagliare," meaning "to engrave" or "to cut". Cameos and intaglios are both carved gemstones and the difference between the two is dictated by whether the design protrudes from the stone (cameo), or carved into the stone (intaglio). Both techniques have been prized since ancient times, with histories going back millennia... SIZE 20" COLORS Clear, Green, Amber, White, Gold CLOSURE Box Clasp ENGRAVED Makers Mark
