This book meets the rising demand for information about collecting, appraising, buying and selling cameos. The only book of its kind, the book provides a comprehensive reference for anyone interested in cameos, including how to: Build and care for a cameo collection; develop an eye for quality and an appreciation for cameos as 'art'; detect genuine cameos from among synthetics and imitations; 'circa date' cameos to differentiate old cameos from new; distinguish ultrasonically-produced cameos from hand-carved pieces; avoid the major pitfall -- the purchase of mediocre pieces, fakes, and forgeries; and much, much more.
