Owl hallmark (750 gold imported into France) and swan hallmark (925 silver imported into France)

This unique piece had a previous life in Italy.

The story: The term cameo is borrowed directly from the Italian Cameo which has the same origin as the word cameo (a gradient of colors of the same tone). They consist of engraving on stone (chalcedony) or shell, a relief pattern on the white part of the stone or shell, while the colored part is used in the background. This art of engraving stone, or glyptic, concerns cameos but also intaglios (stones engraved in hollow). The first cameos date back to Greece and Ancient Rome. They displayed images of gods and goddesses, heroes, leaders, religious figures and significant events.
