My grandmother left me a Cameo Necklace and it looks like it was craved out of soap... I looked up how to make a Brooch and the history on them....got very vauge or 'mommy and me' type of website. Does anyone know how they are made and whats the history on them?

Cameos can be made from many materials including plastic.

Since it is from your Grandmother it is likely old and the common materials used earlier in the 20th and as well as the19th century was agate or shells. Agate is the most common sometimes called "hardstone".

Some were created by applying layers of agate of different colors and when carved revealed the varying colors.

Necklaces, necklace sets and layered jewelry are keeping pace. This 2007 season is showing long jewelry is quite "in".

Long necklaces and chain designs are primary, but costume jewelry trends hold something for everyone and you'll find chokers and short necklaces in geometric and hammered metals will provide a hand-made attractive look that will also be part of the trends this season.

Round shapes go beyond geometrics this season with old world looks using large disc pendants and metal rings spacing gemstone and glass show pieces. Earrings and bracelets use concentric circles and bold loops. The go to plating is silver, but the warmth of gold cannot be ignored as it climbs in popularity.

The Colors of Summer          -----  fashion-china-jewelry.com

Grey and white are important in the summer of 2010, as well as off-white, light browns, and shades of sage. Think Caribbean in brights with shades of peach, aqua, fuchsia, teal green, and yellow.

Gemstone components are predicted to sell exceptionally well this summer with natural colors in fashion jewelry ranging from shell to wood. Murano style glass and crystal are constantly changing and fine-tuning their designs and selling better than ever this summer 2007 season. Expect to see Murano style jewelry setting new sales records this season.

Facets in Costume Jewelry Trends              -----  fashion-china-jewelry.com

Classic denim is beyond blue this season and will be gold in fashion sales with Southwest styles and designer appearances. Southwest motif's, silver plating and metal designs will be highlighted. Expect turquoise and coral to be top sellers and design criteria.

Spring previews began with designers showing new lines dominated by floral designs. Accessories, especially brooches, will reflect the garden theme with blossoms, butterflies, lady bugs, and dragonflies.

Think Victorian this year. Classic looks from history will reflect on the trends this season. Retro and vintage designs will be fresh, with Victorian styles in jewelry and fashion. Cameos, filigree, antique plating will return. Historically, the Victorian era changed styles and fashion forever. Now we will be seeing some of it come back into our current trends in fashion.

A return to values also awakens spiritual and caring feelings. Metal bracelets and necklaces engraved with verses and words of hope are not new, but this season they will enjoy a resurgence of popularity. The trend has already started with some wholesalers reporting it is their hottest item.
