Cameo jewelry – even if you didn’t realize that was the name for it, you’ve definitely seen it around! Whether adorning strict headmistresses on TV or movies, tangled in other trinkets in your grandmother’s old jewelry case, or maybe even on fashionable celebrities who manage to pull off the vintage-chic look without looking stuffy, cameo carvings have been present in jewelry trends for ages! And while the classic symbology is what makes the accessory so chic and timeless, it also can make you feel (or look) like a schoolmarm, especially given all the high-necked blouses that are in this season! However, when worn right, it can provide a sexy contrast to an edgy night-out look or add some retro flavor to some of this season’s hottest trends. If your grandmother doesn’t have any authentic pieces to pass down, peep this chic cocktail ring in pink or this whimsical take on cameo from Tarina Tarantino. For something a bit more classic, these cameo drop earrings by Sophia and Chloe or this Gem Kingdom pendant necklace are gorgeous with a sexy little black dress!
