About Cameo Calamity
Cameo Calamity is not just a jewelry shop. It’s about preserving timeless treasures that have been lost and then re-discovered. Michelle (our founder) searches to bring back the stories behind each piece while honoring the hand carved artistic designs of that era, making sure that the treasures keep being treasured and never forgotten and instilling knowledge and education. The carefully hand selected pieces take you back to that time so you can discover your own story and find which cameo, carving or engraved item that best represents your unique personality. Are you a Calamity Jane, a Queen Victoria or fascinated with Greek and Roman Mythology, the ancient gods and goddesses? At Cameo Calamity, you not only see timeless beauty but you get to take the journey and become a part of the precious preservation of such exquisite and rare pieces of art while discovering what it was like to be part of the lineage of the women and men of that era allowing you to take a step back into time.
