3- Are the cameos antique?

Yes, I work using antique cameos from the 1800s and early 1900s.

4- Are cameos reproducible?

No, my cameo jewelry pieces are unique and one-of-a-kind. However, if you like a specific subject and the cameo that portrays it has already been sold, I will do my best, upon request, to find a similar one but it will NEVER be the same.

5- Can I give you a cameo that I own to be reassembled on design by Anna Porcu?

I often get this question but, unfortunately, the answer is no.

All the cameos that I use in my design were chosen by my eye and my heart. I am sure you do understand!

7 - How should I clean my cameo?

Anna Porcu jewelry is made with original antique cameos from the 19th century.

If you need a more thorough cleaning you can add a drop of shampoo to the water. Dry well with a cotton cloth.

Description

This choker hosts an antique ceramic cameo with the portrait of Beatrice Cenci : it’s a faithful reproduction of the Italian artist Guido Reni’s painting. Beatrice was a 16th century Roman noblewoman whose life was tormented by her abusive father. Despite informing the authorities of the frequent mistreatment, nothing changed. The maiden found the strength to react and kill him. Though public opinion was in her favor, she was nevertheless executed but her sacrifice was not in vain, however. She has become a symbol of resistance against harassment and injustice and many writers, musicians and painters have become ambassadors of her cause, broadcasting her message of will through their works of art. This choker is my contribution to her story of courage, spirit and strength. One-of-a-kind piece totally designed and handmade in Italy.
