HANDCRAFTED PINE RESIN CAMEOS

Measurements given are of the cameo itself; the antiqued brass mounting sizes vary

GET READY TO VIEW 200+ DIFFERENT FACES, all different colors, themes & settings, including Ladies, Men, Knights, Cherubs, Greek Myths, Animals, all black Funeral "mourning" cameos, and African-American cameos

 

WE NOW OWN THE ENTIRE 

CLASSIC CREATIONS 

CAMEO & BRASS BUSINESS

They have retired from the cameo business after 28 years.  We have purchased their entire inventory of cameos, brass & molds, as of May 15, 2006.  Stay tuned as you will see the Cameos pages DOUBLE with all the new inventory we have acquired in quantities as well as MANY NEW FACES & BRASS.  (We have already found several dozen new faces in the first bin). First the un-mounted cameo inventory (last page) will show the increase, then the finished jewelry pages will grow with:

BARRETTES, 

EARRINGS, 

PENDANTS, 

BOOK MARKS, 

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS, 

HAT PINS,

BUTTON COVERS, 

BRACELETS & MORE.

So stay tuned over the next few months & watch us grow!  Note the pink box below with the evolution of our progress.

 

WHAT IS CLASSIC CREATIONS?  .. and how are the cameos made?

A couple who were mold makers took their own shell cameo collection and hand made latex molds.  Sometimes details within the mold are re-defined with dental tools.  They then take a liquid organic pine resin (domestic amber) - see photo of a cameo below, if they did not add color first to the liquid resin:

MVC-520S.JPG (38123 bytes)

So to most they add a color, and hand-pour the face into the mold.  They may pour a second color for background.  When un-molded, we do edging and antiquing work on each, and mount them on polished BRASS reproduction backings OR now our exclusive STERLING SILVER Calla Lily designs we have handcrafted in Poland.  

These are combo pin/pendants unless otherwise stated (a single jewelry piece on the back is a pin and pendant combined), see below:

Cameo back.JPG (39536 bytes)

No machines are used to make these cameos.  A handcrafted Where on Earth design, always one-of-a-kind!  Each comes with an authentication card detailing this process.

 

EVOLUTION OF THE CAMEO & BRASS PURCHASE

As of February 26, 2006, we have had a custom-built 12 x 24 foot storage building delivered just for the cameo inventory that we will be adding soon as we bought the rest of the inventory & business.  So stay tuned!  The unfinished cameo inventory will show first on Cameos page 7 as we sort them.

cameobuilding.jpg (38513 bytes)

Update 4/17/06 (shelving & bins delivered), Glenn is installing them in the building:

  cameoshelvesbins.JPG (40604 bytes)  cameoshelvingin.JPG (35825 bytes)  cameoshelvingin2.JPG (37521 bytes)

4/30/06  FINISHED!  We'll be bringing home the cameos soon:

As of May 15, 2006, here are just SOME of the bins of cameos needing sorting, and the boxes flattened from unpacking the first group:
