Cameo Appearance

They're back.
Cameos, those time-honored, hand-carved conch shell specialties, have been rediscovered by the Web 2.0 generation.
Grandmother might be hit with a brief spell of neurasthenia to see the darlings of the 19th Century clipped to black leather bustiers but such is the price of progress.

Cameos: Not just for your average white girls any more

Naples-based M&M Scognamiglio is the largest cameo producer in Italy (translation: the world) and the company's Amedeo Collection (pictured below) place hand-carved peach-hued cameos in gold, silver and ebony settings. A hot seller on Home Shopping Network, they won't break the bank, either.
Grandmother's delicate condition is another question.
