The fineness of its processing
The uniqueness of a cameo is revealed when you discover the value of its workmanship. This is a jewel born from the waves of the sea: experienced engravers choose the shell based on the project they want to create and bring it to life again. The most precious part of the shell, the cup is chosen.
The journey of a masterpiece
To create a small masterpiece from a shell, the process is complex and delicate. Starting with the smooth side, the engraver traces the shape of the piece they intend to work, onto the cup of the chosen shell, and cuts the shape. They carefully and skilfully finish the edges, so that they are perfectly smooth and the right size.
