My starting point for my current project came from antique jewellery, mainly cameos.
I was fascinated by the way that the technique and style has stood the test of time from Ancient Civilisations to current High street trends, as well as the stories the designs held and the significance of the items.
A cameo is a small stone or shell that is carved in raised relief - the upper layer is cut away in raised relief while the lower one is revealed as a blank ground.
