CAMEOS IN 18TH CENTURY FASHION

Pauline Borghese

 

 

 

Several portraits of the ladies of the Napoleon's family.
They can be considered the best sample of the 19th Century elegance.
As you can see cameos were considered an indispensable jewel.
Cameos were not only mounted as tiaras, bracelets, brooches, necklaces, earrings etc.
We can still find cameos mounted as belt buckles and even as shoe buckles.
