<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 9816862, member: 5833&quot;]Despite my quarrels with its identification of cameo subjects, the book <i>Cameos Old &amp; New</i> is a source for info on contemporary cameo production.&nbsp; It says that while hardstone cameos are now frequently ultrasonically cut, shell is still worked mainly by hand, supplemented with a dentist&#039;s drill.&nbsp; Good shell cutters can work extremely quickly.&nbsp; Roman cameists of the nineteenth century could do your portrait in a day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
