• It was not until the fifteenth century during the period referred to as the Renaissance that cameos resurfaced as an art form and as a medium for jewelry.
• The Medici family of Florence is credited with restoring cameos as jewelry.
– At about the same time a very high quality mine wad discovered in southern Germany.
– This region soon became the center of cameo technology and by the beginning of the 19th century possessed the most significant agate deposits in the world.
– The once rich deposits of these mines have been exhausted and the world is now dependent on South America for its supply of high quality layered agate material.
