Vintage and Antique Cameo Jewelry

Vintage and antique cameo rings are very collectible and also beautiful to wear.  You can collect cameo rings from a certain era of manufacture or you can search for a specific color or style of carving.

Faux cameo rings make terrific gifts for young children because children like the carvings and pictures on the cameos.  However, there are just as many gorgeous antique cameo rings for your girlfriend, wife or mother.

Cameos have a timeless quality about them, so they never go out of fashion.  They look good on a classic work suit, but just as good with jeans or goth clothing.

Although men cannot wear the antique and vintage cameo necklaces, earrings, and pins, men can wear cameo cufflinks. Cameo cufflinks look really great paired with a tux. So if your man wears cufflinks, this is the perfect gift for him.

There are also cameo covered pocket watches for men.  This is a pocket watch that can be carried in the pocket of a vest or pants of a suit.

Men can wear the smaller cameo pins as a tie tack. These would look great on a dark or plain colored tie for a special occasion. So don't leave men out when it comes to cameos.

Antique and vintage cameos look especially good set off on the neck on a choker.  It is easy to take a cameo brooch and turn it into a choker by sliding a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch ribbon through the pin back and wearing it around your neck.

The ribbon will make the cameo standout on your neck, while creating a soft outline for the cameo.  Because cameos are timeless, classic designs, they will look good with just about any style of dress including goth.

Cameos are often white on a pink or peach base, but you can find white cameos on black, pale blue, dark blue and gray as well.  Every once in a while you will find other colors as well.

If you are someone who loves vintage jewelry, loves vintage cameos, or just loves the way cameos look, antique and vintage cameo jewelry is very collectible.  Depending on the age, condition, and material the cameo is made from, will create variations in the price range.  But there are many cameos available to collect, and Ebay is a great place to start looking.

Some of the most unusual vintage cameo collectibles are cameo compacts that were designed to hold cosmetics or perfume.  These are very stunning, and make a wonderful gift for Mother's Day or a birthday.  Some of the compacts are small enough to be worn as a brooch.  What a great way to carry your makeup with you.

Cameo pocket watches are also available for women, and the women's versions are very delicate looking.  Once you start collecting antique and vintage cameos, you will find that you love them.
