~~~***~~~Behind the making of the cameo~~~***~~~

Each cameo goes through a multiple-step, multiple-day process; during each step I inspect my work carefully to make sure it meets the highest quality standards. First, I have to print each image and choose a cab for it. I first glue the cabochon over then image; when that's dry, I carefully cut it out and prepare it for the second step, which is securing the cab to the cameo itself.

I use one of the strongest (and finicky!) glues available to do so; while that dries, I take a crystal, insert a headpin, and wrap it so I can hang it on the charm. When the locket is dry I string it on a chain, add the charm & crystal, and place it in an organza bag. It's now ready to go home to you!

I have done my best to preserve the image and protect it from the elements; it should be perfectly all right to wear if you're dashing from the car to the house in the rain. However, I would attempt to keep it safe from water and other possibly destructive elements, which may also affect the plating on the cameo and chain.
