Catholic Cameos: An Inspired Craft

Catholic Cameos: An Inspired Craft

Cameos are a meaningful piece of history wrapped into wearable art.


As Catholics we appreciate something with a good history that can stand the test of time and cameos have a very long history! The tradition of carving jewelry dates back hundreds of years before Jesus. Originally cameos were carved out of shell, ivory, or stone and were used to commemorate popular leaders or legends.

At Telos we embrace history and tradition, while adding an updated spin on the design.

We are excited to offer you several styles of Catholic Cameo jewelry in our shop!

1. The Blessed Mother Cameo Necklace

Our bas relief cameos in Italian Capodimonte procelain feature the Blessed Mother in a few special apparitions.

 

2. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Cameo Necklace

We also have a unique rose-colored cameo with the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

 

3. Sacred Heart of Jesus Cameo Ring

Our newest edition, inspired by vintage cameo rings, is our exclusive Sacred Heart ring. Handcarved in Italy by skilled artisans, the white is carefully etched away to reveal the fine detail of the Most Sacred Heart with a the pink background of the natural shell. The cameo is carefully secured within a 10mm, 14k gold-filled bezel ring made in the USA.

 

If you have your heart set on gifting or receiving one of these genuine Italian Capodimonte, we are excited to share our newly updated Catholic Cameo Collection with you!
