5 out of 5 starsThe cameo is so much more gorgeous and detailed in person. Astrid was wonderful to work with. I was worried about shipping from Malta, especially with the various shipping woes we’ve experienced throughout the pandemic. But Astrid kept an eye on the tracking and even checked in with me to make sure it arrived safe and sound. I highly recommend this seller.

5 out of 5 starsDear Astrid, I can't recall ever receiving something that literally took my breath away until I received this most beautiful cameo. It is a true masterpiece! A wonderful work of art. The detail is just amazing. Please, please thank Guiseppe for me. He is an incredible artist and I can't thank you enough for choosing him to make this cameo come to fruition for me. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with and I can't thank you enough.
Kindest regards, Arlene -

I was so pleased that I already bought again from this shop and as soon as etsy allows me another great feedback will be written because this cameos are amazing. Very well packed with great attention to detail even in the box. I could not be more pleased.

I will be adding some more cameos soon. Here are some of the ones to be listed.
How I became a cameo addict.
I would like to share with you all how I became a collector of cameos. It really is a strange story! I was once browsing online to buy some sea shells for home decor. Imagine my surprise when images of shell cameos started to crop up in the search! I had not known about cameos before that.
To cut a long story short, myself being of an impulsive nature, I actually admired and bought one of these shell cameos. It was a vintage classical 'Maiden' cameo, carved in Sardonyx shell. When I received the cameo I was immediately smitten. There is no other way I can describe it. My love for cameos was born there and then and there was no turning back.
Over time my collection grew and grew. My younger son started to call me a hoarder. Perhaps he may be right, but the sad fact is that I am now at a stage where I need to start selling my collection. None of my two sons 'get' cameos. They cannot understand my passion for them, so here I am on Etsy sharing my wonderful little treasures, albeit with a heavy heart. I sincerely hope that my cameos will find new, loving homes and be cared for and cherished for many more years to come.
Cameos are timeless pieces of miniature art, to be treasured and passed from generation to generation. Good cameos are always an investment and will appreciate over time.

Besides offering my own collection of antique cameos, I am also able to provide custom-made cameos through my master carver colleague from Torre del Greco. You would need to provide me with a photo or picture. Contact me for more details.

Frequently asked questions
What if an item is not as described?
If the item you receive is totally off from how I describe it, then you would be entitled to return it. Please note that this only applies to any item that has been seriously misrepresented, which is very unlikely as I am very careful and honest with descriptions.
Are your cameos reproductions?
No! The cameos are all original antique or vintage items. None of my cameos are in new condition. All cameos will show some form of wear commensurate with age and use. This is part of the charm of antique and vintage items. All items are sold as is.
Do you offer layaway payments? If so what are your terms?
Yes, I gladly offer layaway payments. I will work with you to ascertain your particular layaway terms according to your own budget. A non-refundable deposit consisting of 5% of the item' s value is initially required to secure your layaway. This of course goes toward your purchase unless the layaway is cancelled. If buyer changes their mind whilst still paying a layaway, all monies paid, except for the 5% non-refundable deposit, will go towards store credit.
