Pendant Spilla Cammeo on Conchiglia Incision Capricorn

I cams on the shell are the fruit of a renowned italian artistic tradition that has existed for centuries and are derived from shells of gastropod molluscs Cassis and Strombus.

Their shell has a thickness in the adult stage that can be carved and the combination between the white of the upper layer and the rose of the lower layer, creates a chromatic contrast that artists exploit to create three-dimensionality and make even more living and realistic representations.
