V-Day Gift List: The Love Grows for Cameos

Over the past three years, OBJ has posted three stories about cameo jewelry, and each time you’ve told us you want more. If you’re cameo-obsessed (or know someone who is), chances are you’re just as interested in reproduction cameos as you are inspired by the real thing. From authentic carved cameos of shell, carnelian, and onyx, to contemporary designs in resin, porcelain, or glass, these sculptural portraits are beloved for their beauty and individuality. They’re also “having a moment” in these chaotic times as symbols of female empowerment and solidarity. Buy one for Valentine’s Day!

Fenty Cameo Jewelry by Rihanna @fenty

Three months ago, Rihanna launched an exclusive collection of cameo-style fashion jewelry under her popular Fenty label. Riri-watchers should not have been surprised; the global superstar and businesswoman had been wearing designer Jackie Aiche’s black and white carved cameo rings for several years. Rihanna’s modern cameo designs include rings, earrings, and pendants that double as brooches. Made of black resin and glass, they are all embellished in sparkling Swarovski crystals and pearls. According to Rihanna’s spokesperson, her dramatic cameos are designed to honor “a new, more contemporary heroine.” For more information, visit fenty.com.
