Announcement    My cameos are from different eras including Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Art Nouveau and contemporary. I also offer custom cameo creations such as portraits from photos, for which I team up with a master carver from Torre del Greco.

My cameos are kept in a smoke-free environment and are very well looked after. They come in shell, coral, lava and other miscellaneous materials. The pieces are all hand carved and original. All old or used cameos will show some wear due to their age and are sold as is. Please feel very free to ask me any questions prior to purchasing. Interest-free layaways are available. I will happily work with my buyers to suit their own needs regarding payments.

CONCERNING RETURNS: Please kindly note that as a private seller selling my own collection, I am not bound by EU law to accept returns, with the exception that I may have made a grievous error in listing. Please feel very free to ask questions before you buy if you need further clarification or would like more images. I am committed to helping you make the right choices so that you will be happy and satisfied with your purchase, as well as with the experience of shopping at Cameotique.Dot.Com

To view more cameos, you might like to visit my website www.cameotique.com. Any cameos on that site will be available to purchase on Etsy by request.

  • 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 shells which I wanted to use for my cichlid aquarium. Imagine my surprise when images of shell cameos started to crop up in the search!
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.
