Your cameo with the male soldier head likely depicts a Spartan, as that is the typical Spartan helmet. Very enjoyable and well-presented video. Thank you for sharing your treasures!
I have never found one in glass though I do have a suitcase of the ones which are lava and shell. My collection started when I admired my grandmother's cameo which was her pride and joy. After my mother inherited the cameo it was passed down to me, and I keep it separate from the rest because it is sentimental.
My Good Gracious Lord U've An Enviable Magnificent Treasure Trove of Vintage Eyecatching CAMEOS! Each & Every Piece Eye Poppingly MAGNIFICENT! SOME COLLECTION, 👌 👍 ALRIGHT!
Oh my! This was so lovely & informative. I fell in love with cameos when i was just a girl. Mom & Dad went to Rome & bought us girls & mom a cameo. They watched the carvers carve them from shells. Mine was set in silver & the ring part wore completely out. The jeweler would not make me a new ring for it because he was afraid the heat would crack the cameo. I bought another one similar & the cameo fell out & I lost it😢. I love the silver setting, but it wears out. The newer cameos are not beautiful like the older ones. They seem so cheaply made. I would like to have a beautiful one set in white gold. That started me collecting cameos. They are just so lovely & portrayed women as feminine & beautiful.
😍 girl... u have the most beautiful collection, I'm gonna be on the look out for the African cameos. When I go the local swap meet n see jewelry I automatically think of ur channel lol, I look on the back of pendents in hopes of finding c clasp. Anywho so beautiful.
Thank you for the lovely video! I can no longer thrift shop as I used to and thought this was a wonderful view! I once had a pair of green cameo clip on earrings I gave away; now I wonder what they were worth. I think the young recipient liked them, but I sure didn't think to check. The one cameo you show, looks as if a vampire got her neck, LOL.
I’m actually here due to the cameos at 4:54! I found some online and couldn’t decide which to chose. This video is fantastic! It’ll be my first cameo and I’m happy to find one that resembles me!
Your video has generated my interest in acquiring at least 1 Cameo! I have normally passed them up. Although now I will rethink that. Thx for the information!
I have a cameo made from opal. It is really beautiful. My uncle also to my high-school photo to Italy and had a shell carver turn it into a carved shell.
for cleaning and nourishing it's as you say, but run it gently against your face, where it's greasy... the skin sebum will give it the final care step... massage it in gently Nice collection and video... I collect cameos, but they are all extra quality and genuine antique pieces... I love habillé and conch shell a lot, too hugs from Switzerland, ;)
The helmet with the feathers on top could be a Trojan warrior. It looks like it may be Mercury (Roman name for Hermes, the Greek god). I’m wondering if some of the black cameos could be hematite. I’m not certain it can be carved, though.
You may be correct! I need to test some of the black ones, I know a few are glass but some aren’t. I believe you’re correct on the one with the feathers. ❤️😊 thank you so much for watching and the info!
I believe the Cameo stone with the men's faces is Amber and marble the burnt orange I believe to be Amber, and the black and white marble. Some of the black stones are either obsiden or onyx.. The ones that are either plastic or enamel possibly... I hope maybe this helps you..
I have a question? I have a bracelet that is a double hummingbirds, it is a hinged cuff or bangle bracelet by juicy couture. I believe it's vintage and rare its gold with white,green, and blue enamel, with rhinestones it's a beautiful piece I can't find it anywhere I have found other birds parrots, love birds and so on. This is why I believe it is a very rare bracelet. Can you possibly help or maybe tell me how I can find any information about my bracelet. Thank You In advance. Crystal Stewart
Have you tried a reverse google search? It’s hit or miss but there have been a few times when I have found items, I was researching that way, as a last resort.
Greetings from Sweden bot I and my mom collect cameo I have two with hole head carved one big shell cameo I 14k from 1860-70s and one smaller shell cameo in metal 1880-90s
@@VintageVariety I saw a good sized one at a flea market a couple days ago and it was old and the background was black and the carving was black too. The lady wanted $55 for it... Since then I've been trying to find an all black one online and can't! Must be rare. Yours is also left facing!
@@VintageVariety KiaOra from New Zealand. Taking a random guess, don't know anything about cameos lol. Just thought that these look similar to jasper wax seal stamps. Pushing them into play doh or modelling clay would be fun! 🙂
@jillkoshinski3033 I’m not sure where you would go unless you took it to a local jeweler. If they do not know perhaps they could put you in touch with an appraiser. I do not do appraisals.
I had thought some might be but I always second guess myself. I never like to say unless I’m sure. Thank you for telling me!❤️That’s good to know 😊❤️❤️
Hi Dennis! Thank you for watching❤️ Most jewelry channels do not give values because they can fluctuate. I suggest getting an appraisal. There are also channels that do jewelry auctions. Watching some of the auctions, could also be helpful, in giving you a general idea of what items are selling for. ❤️❤️❤️
I believe it’s carnelian. I had another comment suggesting that it was and comparing it to another piece of jewelry made from carnelian stone it looks the same. ❤️❤️❤️
This is the 5th time I’ve watched this…and I will probably watch it again and again! Thank you for all the great info - as always!
Thank you Cindy! I really appreciate it! I hope your doing well ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗

Lee thank you! I had not thought about that but your right! It does look like a Spartan helmet! Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just love Cameos. The male cameo looks like it could be Hermes, the God of travel. He usually has wings on his feet.
I like them because they’re like miniature pieces of art you can wear. Thank you so much😊❤️❤️❤️
@@VintageVariety exactly.
Interesting and informative sharing on your cameo collection. All the Best
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️

They are wonderful pieces of jewelry. Sentimental pieces are the most precious because such beautiful memories come with them❤️
Found your channel while trying to identify information about a cameo I acquired. Beautiful collection!
Thank you Lisa!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am obsessed with cameos . Your collection is beautiful.
Thank you! I love cameos ❤️
I am new to watching you about cameos. I have one I feel is old, am trying to make sure it is. Thanks for sharing your information!

Hi, beautiful collection, thank you for sharing. The casqued person cameo can be a greek goddess Athena.
Wow! Athena! Thank you!
Your video has generated my interest in acquiring at least 1 Cameo! I have normally passed them up. Although now I will rethink that. Thx for the information!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching. There are so many different options when it comes to cameos. I hope you find one that you love ❤️ 😊❤️
Beautiful collection
Thank you my sweet friend

it works the same for pearls.... sea gems are living organisms and need some human love :D
I like ❤️💜 cameo's, Pearl's and rubies.
Me too! 😊❤️😊❤️
The 2 faced cameo with the man on the back , the blackish part could be obsidian
❤️❤️❤️

I believe the black cameo with the standing lady feeding birds is carved from slate stone.
Oh wow! I’m going to take a closer look at it! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi great video..I found a virgin and child cameo in my mum jewelry and cant find the same on google.
Thank you for watching! Perhaps the one belonging to your mom is rare or it could simply be a later one❤️❤️❤️
Where oh where do you find these gorgeous pieces? Simply beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Your identification videos are very good. Are you a teacher?
No 😊
The wire work is called cantelle? Did i hear you right?
Yes cannetille. It’s similar to filigree but the work is finer, more intricate and delicate ❤️❤️❤️
Some other channel is doing 6th anniversary grade's.
@11:30 looks like Hermes that is a winged helmet
Thank you! 😊❤️❤️❤️
The male cameo may be a Roman centurion.
Interesting information. Thank you 😊
Holy cameo collection!!!! I was wondering if your all black onyx one is worth more money?
That’s a good question Pea Nut! I’m not really sure how much it’s worth on the market today. I would have to have it evaluated. ❤️❤️❤️

@@peanut924 WOW! I hope you find one❤️😊
Someone probably already called it out...but the cameo with the man in the helmet is actually a woman. That is Athena, greek goddess of war.
Thank you! 😊 ❤️❤️❤️
10:46 looks like an antique wax seal fob cameo. And possibly the "man one" following it.
Great info Six sense! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Also would love to know what the cameos are set in ie sterling or gold or gold filled! Very lovely collection!
Please follow my page on Instagram @vintarust instagram.com/vintarust?😊
Please tell me some place in Evansville that I can go to to find out about it and it's value it's marked for the side Berlin eliminated
@jillkoshinski3033 I’m not sure where you would go unless you took it to a local jeweler. If they do not know perhaps they could put you in touch with an appraiser. I do not do appraisals.
Some of your cameos are made of Carnelian. I have a large collection.
I had thought some might be but I always second guess myself. I never like to say unless I’m sure. Thank you for telling me!❤️That’s good to know 😊❤️❤️
The man cameo on orange stone could be carnelian
Thank you Nancy😊❤️❤️❤️
I would like to know history on a real Toulouse cameo what is its value also around 1970s at wounded knee shop
Mary I wish I could help you however I have never heard of a Toulouse cameo.
Mineral oil is good for Pearl's or goals also as they t we nd to dry out with age and never dip them in liquid jewelry cleaner
I agree! Thank you so much 😊 ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry that was mineral oil for pearls and opals 🤭
I have a very old cameo from when the Berlin wall was taken down it's an neckis can you tell me anything about it and it's value
Sound interesting! I’ve never ran across one like that.❤️❤️❤️
Im at 8:00 but still no value of the price. Anybody can recommend videos who discuss expensive high end jewelery? With prices.
Hi Dennis! Thank you for watching❤️ Most jewelry channels do not give values because they can fluctuate. I suggest getting an appraisal. There are also channels that do jewelry auctions. Watching some of the auctions, could also be helpful, in giving you a general idea of what items are selling for. ❤️❤️❤️
It could be Athena
❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you!😊
Do you know what it means when the reverse of a cameo setting to says di v?
It sounds as though it is a makers mark.
Yeah it's actually Di. V k14
Hadnt seen that before
What are does cameos with a white background made of ? Are they shell too? Why they look so thick
Yes they are shell also. Thank you for watching 😀
Is the cameo carved out of amber the one you went sure of ?x
I believe it’s carnelian. I had another comment suggesting that it was and comparing it to another piece of jewelry made from carnelian stone it looks the same. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi thank you so much.
Thank you for watching ❤️
roman soldier??
I think it may very well be a Roman soldier 👍🏻😊❤️❤️❤️
C’est domage que ce temp est passé cela fesait partie de la parrure de la femme cela fesait élégant
Are you selling any by any chance?
Hi Don’t Worry, thank you for watching. Currently I’m not selling❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@VintageVariety ok :(
