"This is a must-have for anyone involved along the path cameos take, from start to finish, into the market place, and beyond." -- Gem News, The 4th edition of Cameos Old & New, by Anna M. Miller, has been revised, updated, and expanded by Diana Jarrett. It's a current encyclopedia on cameos including: history, mythology, production, materials, appraisals, collecting, artistry, and the future of cameos. The Australian Gemmologist called Cameos Old & New "the best introductory book on cameos." This is a must-have for anyone involved along the path cameos take, from start to finish, into the market place, and beyond. The book contains 371 pages of insightful information, detailed pictures, and 16 color plates. The book is then concluded with a chronology of engraved stones and cameos in Europe, along with a glossary of glyptic-art and jewelry terms. The book is widely available, including from the publisher, Gemstone Press ., Newly updated and revised by Diana Jarrett, GG, RMV, this classic guide to cameos is a 'must' for any jewelry dealer or would-be collector. It tells how to locate them, how to identify old from new, and how to understand their creation and value. New cameo photos in this edition compliment discussions of key influences on value in this ongoing recommendation for any jewelry collector's library. CAMEOS, Books on cameos have been written for centuries. One only needs to look in the bibliography or early chapters of Cameos: Old & New to see the amazing history of the "glyptic arts," which literally spans millennia. The first three editions by the late Anna Miller were filled with a tremendous amount of information and hundreds of black-and-white and color images on the subject. The fourth edition, edited by gemologist and journalist Diana Jarrett, is indeed the charm, a significant update that adds more than 100 pages and revitalizes Ms. Miller's book for the new century. It features rewrites and improved organization of content--from the history, romance, and mythologies in the beginning of the book, to transparent gems, coral harvesting, alternate cameo materials, recent production processes, and sources and suppliers. New finds of vintage cameos from flea markets, yard sales, and antique shops are illustrated and grouped by era. Pages of information on evaluating cameo authenticity are new, as are pointers to helpful websites. The glossary and suggested reading list are expanded as well. The historical value of cameos is addressed in depth, including the accomplished artists of more recent times. Among them are 21st century masters who are keeping the form alive in newly discovered ateliers in places such as Panama and Turkey, as well as in the traditional carving centers of Germany and Italy. Overhauled for this edition are the chapters on buying and selling, with entries and tips on auction houses, the Internet, and TV shopping. The color plates in the center section give a broader representation of the full range of the art, with different types of carvings, materials, styles, and subject matter. The final chapter, new to the 4th edition, speaks to the direction in which the glyptic arts are headed, with inspirational quotes from the contemporary artists who continue this ancient skill. Whether or not you have an earlier version of this book in your library, this edition belongs there., Books on cameos have been written for centuries.

Diana Jarrett brings extensive new information to the text, originally written by the late jewelry expert Anna Miller, including new manufacturing methods, new resources, and a guide to determine the value of older cameos. For more information, visit www.gemstonepress.com., CAMEOS OLD AND NEW appears in its fourth updated edition, revised and expanded by Diana Jarrett, GG, RMV in a newly updated set of details for both novice and advanced jewelry collectors. This is the first - and only - guide to cameos and covers everything from where to hunt for them to how to value and identify them. Many new cameo photos and key factors for defining value contribute to an exceptional survey of where, how and when to buy cameos whether it be at auction, from a dealer, or via the Internet. Any serious collector's library must have this., "Retailers must grab this! It is good for you, good for your business, good to give to your customers. Unlike some reference books that are used a page or chapter at a time to answer a question, this book is best enjoyed from cover to cover. 'Cameos Old & New' is not just a reference; it is The reference for cameos." -- Karen Tweedie, Bulletin of the New York Mineralogical Club, and also Southern Jewelry News, Spring 2009, Retailers must grab this! It is good for you, good for your business, good to give to your customers. Gemologist Diana Jarrett leaves no stone unturned in her sweeping revision of the classic reference guide "Cameos Old & New, 4th Edition" by GemStone Press. Jarrett combines her training as a gemologist and appraiser and her passion for uncovering "the story behind the stone" to this lavishly illustrated compendium on the topic of cameos. From classical motifs to abstract modern interpretations; from traditional materials to recently discovered gemstones; from ancient stone carving techniques to modern machine carving production - it's all there in rich detail and technical but easily understood prose. Jewelry professionals and collectors as well as anyone interested in gemstone carvings will find what they want to know in this well organized and thoroughly entertaining book. This latest 4th edition of "Cameos Old & New" provides a comprehensive cultural and historical context upon which these miniature sculptural works of art are placed. The beautifully illustrated black and white and color plates, 75% of which are new to this edition, present a mind blowing collection to satisfy the cravings of any seasoned collector or whet the appetite of those new to gem carving and cameos. Unlike some reference books that are used a page or chapter at a time to answer a question, this book is best enjoyed from cover to cover. Diana Jarrett writes for both the casual and experienced collector of cameos, as well as dealers, appraisers, and jewelry historians and those interested in a captivating volume about this curious artform - the cameo. "Cameos Old & New" is not just a reference but it is the reference for cameos. Starting with the historical perspective of ancient cameos, Jarrett develops the story of who those gifted gem carvers were and where and how they carved. Tales unfold of scarabs and Greek gods - of ancient fashions of the rich and royal. The development of stone carving techniques and use of other materials are set against the background of the rise, the fall, and the re-emergence of this ancient craft. The cameos themselves reveal powerful messages expressed in stone that have passed through the hands of queens and popes, through generations of collectors, down through history and finally end up today in museums and private collections. This comprehensive edition is a valuable handbook for discovering how to distinguish important qualities in the cameos one collects or sees. Not only does this volume present a detailed timeline of ancient to modern cameos, materials, subject matter and carving techniques - but it offers chapter upon chapter of up-to-date resources and contact information that is available online for contemporary cameo artists, the modern masters, and suppliers.
