| | The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions: Cameo Appearances (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Cameos are carved in relief on stones such as onyx, sardonyx, or agate, and arranged in variegated light- and dark-colored strata, or layers. |
 | | Cameos were often, but not always, made to be worn as jewelry. |
 | | Among the highlights of the exhibition is a nineteenth-century cameo set consisting of a tiara, brooch, and necklace, carved by Luigi Saulini (18191883) in onyx and mounted in gold. |
