Hi, I'm Judy Carrier, with Jewels by Park Lane, and I'm going to talk to you about antique
cameo jewelry. First of all, cameo is a method of carving, and cameo jewelry is jewelry that
is made in that method. For instance, it's a, usually a sculpture of the head in in profile,
I guess you'd call it, on a contrasting color. It's raised and it's against the contrasting
background. It might be on onyx, or shell, or even glass, but what makes it antique is
the piece that you're looking at, an antique cameo, is at least a hundred years old or
more. So, it's not just old; it's got to be really old. So, even though I might be antique
in some people's mind I'm not truly an antique cause I haven't hit that mark yet. Antique
cameo; a hundred year old piece. I'm Judy Carrier, with Jewels by Park Lane.
