I have delighted through the years with adding a surprise to the Jewels that I have made. These touches help to make each Cameo Jewel unique and special for my customers.
A personal message, picture or logo can be engraved on the gold setting to help to make your gift even more personal and unique. This can record the anniversary, birthday or special event for your gift.
Tell me what you would like engraved and I will advise on where this would look the best.
This portrait cameo in white on blue agate and 18 karat white gold was given great individuality and personality.
The young daughter drew a picture of herself with her mother. I hand engraved this image onto the solid white gold cameo back.
Using design elements from an existing jewel or from other sources is a great way to create added meaning for your loved one.
The customers original wedding ring had scroll decoration engraved around the band. This was reproduced on the cameo setting by hand engraving.
A personal message from the daughter to her mother is hand engraved onto the side of the gold cameo frame.
This reads: " You are in my heart and I am in your heart too. I love you Mommy."
The back of the first cameo stone is signed by the cameo artist. The gold bezel is inscribed with - " T.M.L to G.A.L Our Legacy, May 2003."
The second cameo has Chinese characters engraved on the back plate which represent the girl's name. This is encircled by a personal inscription written in Gaelic.
How would you describe your loved one to another. Do they have a passion such as little league baseball, art, music, movie icon, nature or another sport.
I can place an image representing this interest onto the back of the gold cameo frame.
I first started work over 25 years ago as a hand engraver and have won national awards for my hand engraving. I use these skills to place messages or drawings to personalise your jewel.
You will be able to delight in showing your personal engraving to family and friends when they ask about your Portrait Cameo.
