It has been enjoyed since ancient times, so the history is long and fascinating. The ancient Sumerians created the first cameos and they were often used as seals. The ancient Greeks used cameos as currency. The popularity flourished in the Romans time and they used them in many different ways - to advertise their taste and wealth, demonstrate their devotion to gods or political forces, and as personal seals for documents or as signets for powerful leaders. Today, cameos are once again enjoying a resurgence in popularity and are often given as gifts to mark special occasions such as anniversaries or graduations and can also be worn to represent a particular person or relationship.
