We all know of it – Camée-Jewellery. These edgewise-depicted portraits that stand out against dark backgrounds with their bright colour have long been in high demand in the fashion-jewellery industry. But what is so special about putting an unknown portrait on necklaces, armbands or earrings?
The answer is very simple: it’s because of their radiance. The pieces are lush, luxurious and nostalgic, drawing associations to the renaissance era while referencing all its swank and splendour. These attributes are exceptionally popular when it comes to jewellery. Talk about never taking any half measures!
Amedeo Scognamiglio breathes life into this traditional style of jewellery production. With modern, hand-carved motifs, they catapult this rather classical style into the present day. The skull motifs feel rebellious and extravagant, while others prance around in a lively manner. For example, the owl is but a vague suggestion of an owl, and the crude quality sets an interesting contrast against the noble gold ring. This is for all the youthful ones out there who have a preference for a rocking style and light-hearted playful contemporaries!
