Cameos have been a popular jewelry component for thousands of years, with examples discovered from Ancient Greece and Rome. Cameos have been used as signet rings, jewels of emperors, and ornaments of royalty and clergy through the Renaissance. Although interest in cameos waned in the years after the Renaissance, Queen Victoria repopularized the beautiful jewelry piece, through her use of them in her personal jewelry and gifts to friends and important figures.
