The cameo is a jewel made through the incision of a shell. The shell usually belong to the classes Cypraecassis rufa, the Cassis madascarensis, and Cassis Horned because these shells of the family of Cassis consists of two distinct layers of color on the surface. This color formation allows an artist to isolate clearly a figure in relief from the bottom.

A cameo is handcrafted in the following process.

• The first phase of the process is the choice of suitable all\'incisione shell.

• Next is “scoppatura” or the cutting of the convex part of the shell, called the \"cup.\"

• The next phase involves the marking and shaping of the piece cut. In this phase there may be, in the cup, the drawing of the contours of cameo.

. In this phase also there will be the cutting and deletion of unnecessary parts.

. Next is “all\'aggarbatura” in which the piece receives its shape (usually oval or round). The artist uses a special grinder.

• The piece is then placed for a time on warm wood.

• A mastic composed of Greek pitch, wax and canary grass is mixed. The use of this mastic is “scrostatura” that involves the abrasion of the outermost part of the shell while leaving the surface layer with a clear impact.

• The work concludes with “all\'incisore” that involves the drawing of the subject to be depicted on the surface.
