Many met in the shops of exquisite jewelry with a clearly traced convex image, but the name for this style was difficult to find. In fact, this technique is called a "cameo". It is executed on the principle of bas-relief on sea shells and semiprecious stones. The most elegant accessory, made in this technique, is considered to be a cameo brooch. The product usually has a rounded shape, and the central image is performed in light shades (milky, beige, white). The most common story for cameo jewelry is a female profile with clearly defined facets of face, neck and hair, but there are plots from medieval literature and the Bible.
How to wear a brooch cameo?
This accessory is very specific, since it refers to the retro style. Unlike other brooches, this product should be selected carefully and very carefully, trying to match the general image. Brooches with cameos can be used in the following ensembles:
- On the neck in the middle. This will create an image in the style of the 50's, so this option can be used in two cases: either a-la male image with a black blazer, "jockey" boots and a low tail on the back of the head, or a feminine image with "boats" and a black dress.
- On the edge of the collar. Put on a blouse with a soft fabric with a collar and buttons, fasten completely and put the accessory on the collar edge. Brooch should not be too large, and match the style of the blouse. The result is a soft, gentle image.
- On the turndown collar. In this case, you can use a large bright brooch cameo or even combine several small brooches. Use things in a modern style - this will create an interesting contrast and add alongside originality.
In addition, there is another interesting rule of wearing all brooches in general. It is advisable to put on the accessory on the left side, since it is assumed that all the people are right handed, and if you put the brooch on the right, it can interfere with the person who wears it.
