Cammeo playing cards - Inspired by "the cameo", handmade sculptures. Cammeo Standard edition Printed by USPCC - Silver edition 300 Gold edition 200
The cammeo (or cameo) is a jewel made through the engraving of a stratified stone (usually onyx) or a shell, in particular the Cypraecassis rufa, Cassis madascarensis and Cassis cornuta. These shells of the family of Cassis have the surface formed by two layers of different colors, which allows to isolate clearly from the bottom the figure in relief.
Cameos have a rich history with many variations and different meanings. The origins date back to Egypt in 15.000 BC where petroglyphs or figures carved into the rock, were used to record events.
