Vintage Jewelry identification Cameo Jewelry Part I

[@JewelryJam]

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!

[@VintageVariety]

Thank you Cindy! I really appreciate it! I hope your doing well ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗

[@LisaDawn0108]

Found your channel while trying to identify information about a cameo I acquired. Beautiful collection!

[@VintageVariety]

Thank you Lisa!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kristibbradshaw]

I just love Cameos. The male cameo looks like it could be Hermes, the God of travel. He usually has wings on his feet.

[@VintageVariety]

I like them because they’re like miniature pieces of art you can wear. Thank you so much😊❤️❤️❤️

[@kristibbradshaw]

@@VintageVariety exactly.

[@gloriahanes5338]

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.

[@VintageVariety]

They are wonderful pieces of jewelry. Sentimental pieces are the most precious because such beautiful memories come with them❤️

[@Lee---]

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!

[@VintageVariety]

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 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jennyyy78]

I am obsessed with cameos . Your collection is beautiful.

[@VintageVariety]

Thank you! I love cameos ❤️

[@compactgirl]

😍 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.

[@VintageVariety]

Thank you Compact Girl ❤️

[@totallydomestic433]

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.

[@VintageVariety]

Thank you! What A lovely memory! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tomasitoumali4634]

Hi, beautiful collection, thank you for sharing. The casqued person cameo can be a greek goddess Athena.

[@VintageVariety]

Wow! Athena! Thank you!

[@bonniejosavland3227]

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!

[@VintageVariety]

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 ❤️ 😊❤️

[@loriwooten5249]

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.

[@VintageVariety]

Thank you so much for watching! A vampire got her neck! Too funny but I know exactly which cameo you’re talking about. 😄🥰❤️

[@cartomancycarmen]

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!

[@VintageVariety]

That’s wonderful! I bet it’s beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Catia2006]

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 2 faced cameo with the man on the back , the blackish part could be obsidian

[@VintageVariety]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jochildress5003]

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.

[@VintageVariety]

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!

[@jochildress5003]

@@VintageVariety Thank you! Love your presentation and knowledge sharing.

[@crystalstewart7118]

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

[@VintageVariety]

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.

@@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! 🙂

[@isabellavalencia8026]

The wire work is called cantelle? Did i hear you right?

[@VintageVariety]

Yes cannetille. It’s similar to filigree but the work is finer, more intricate and delicate ❤️❤️❤️

[@sunshine000000ful1]

Also would love to know what the cameos are set in ie sterling or gold or gold filled! Very lovely collection!

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

[@VintageVariety]

@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.

[@deznat]

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.

[@VintageVariety]

Thank you! 😊 ❤️❤️❤️

[@peanut924]

Holy cameo collection!!!! I was wondering if your all black onyx one is worth more money?

[@VintageVariety]

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]

@@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!

@@peanut924 WOW! I hope you find one❤️😊

Im at 8:00 but still no value of the price. Anybody can recommend videos who discuss expensive high end jewelery? With prices.

[@VintageVariety]

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. ❤️❤️❤️

[@HoboMinerals]

It could be Athena
