Cameo Appearance

Once while I was perusing this adorable french inspired shop in Winnetka, I discovered these lovely cameo and intaglio necklaces. Classic cameos often featured scenes or female portraits carved into gems or stone, and were admired as art, worn as jewelry, even given as gifts from royalty to their subjects. Extansia's line is inspired by these originals, but given a modern spin with bright hues and chunky chains. I love how these gorgeous pieces add an air of antiquity while providing an on-trend stylish statement.
