Hand-carving continues today, most famously in Italy, where the tradition is still very much alive. The cameos I work with came from an antique market, found loose and in varying condition. Some were chipped and some were quietly extraordinary. Those are the ones I kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelmet shell is found worldwide, and its contrasting coloration makes it ideal for carving cameos.
