Not Your Grandmother’s Cameos

I’ve always associated cameos with my grandmother, probably because they seem so old school and elegant, but Jennifer Kellogg is bringing the carved jewelry into the raunchy 21st century with her Kinky Cameo Collection. Typically, cameos feature profiles of women; Kellogg’s versions show a woman licking a lollipop rather sexually. While they’re certainly not fit for my grandma, the craftsmanship is still there. Each is hand carved using carnelion and sardonyx seashells—and, as we all know, it’s all about your technique. [via Refinery29]

Hold on I think I have an extra $7,000 laying around for a piece of jewelry I will probably lose.

@ Pipi: Maybe you can try carving your own?

@Catherine: Im not saying I totally dont love it, but the price tag of some of these things in fashion is just way too high.

Honestly I think these are tacky. I love a nice vintage Cameo. This chik in Soho sells them on Broadway, in locket form for $10 and they are way cuter. I gave them as gifts last summer with cute photos inside.
