Gemstone cameo portraits are very rare and very powerful. They look so real that they evoke a strong emotional response from friends and family.
Each portrait is hand carved with great care from your photographs and is signed by the artist.

Here I print the original photos, with full credit, bio and contact info for the photographer, details of the design proposal and step by step pictures that explain how their unique Jewel was made.
They will readily show this book to family and friends when they are asked how the Portrait Cameo jewel was created.
