The Cameo

“The art of cameo making was born way back in the 1700s. Shells arrived in the city of Naples from warm countries like Madagascar, the Caribbean, the Seychelles, etc. Legend has it that a sailor at the port of Naples, almost for fun, with a carpenter's chisel discovered that the cup of the shell was calcareous, therefore easily workable. So he slowly began to engrave the face of his beloved and the cameo with the image of a woman's profile was born”.

The Little Cameo Museum

Each cameo is a work of art

Its timeless beauty comes from the craftsmanship, the fruit of centuries-old traditions that we carefully pass down in our workshop in Naples. Every engraving, every detail, is made with passion and precision, making each jewel unique, a symbol of authenticity and art that passes through generations. Our commitment is to preserve this precious tradition, offering our customers not just a jewel, but a true masterpiece, an emblem of Made in Italy.

The Coral

Red coral, harvested from the sea, is cut, shaped and polished to enhance its color and brilliance. Artisanal techniques include cabochon cutting, cameo carving, and mounting in precious metals such as gold and silver. Coral jewelry is a one-of-a-kind piece that requires care and attention to maintain its beauty over time, as coral is sensitive to moisture and chemicals.

Ho visitato questo negozio per acquistare un gioiello di corallo e sono rimasto colpito dalla loro selezione di gioielli realizzati con perle, coralli e pietre preziose. I prezzi sono ragionevoli considerando la qualità della loro lavorazione artigianale. Il proprietario è gentile e accogliente, sempre pronto a chiarire qualsiasi domanda sui loro prodotti. Inoltre, confezionano i tuoi acquisti in graziosi sacchetti, rendendoli perfetti per i regali. Potete trovare un altro punto vendita anche all'uscita del Sito Archeologico di Sotterrata. Consiglio vivamente questo posto a chiunque voglia acquistare autentici gioielli di produzione napoletana.

La migliore varietà in città di pezzi con tecnica cammeo in tutti i colori, stili, design e budget. Personale molto paziente e competente. Piccolo "museo" al piano superiore, spesso dimostrazioni di intaglio dal vivo al piano inferiore.
