The story: The term cameo is borrowed directly from the Italian Cameo which has the same origin as the word “camaïeu” (a gradient of colors of the same tone). The first cameos date back to Greece and Ancient Rome. They displayed images of gods and goddesses, heroes, leaders, religious figures or significant events.
