About this Event
Discover the side tunnel of cameos with Marie Descent. Marie, a retired pharmacist, has always been keenly interested in gemstones. After taking several gemmology courses, she developed a deep appreciation for antique jewellery, fell into its rabbit hole, and ultimately discovered much more to cameos.
Cameos have been around for thousands of years. There are lots more facets to cameos than most people see. Cameos are created by carefully crafting different materials. Cameos' uses and the diverse subject matter vary widely. Learn how the styles have evolved over the years. In short, they are more than grandma's old brooch.
While reading and studying everything that she could about these miniature works of art, Marie has become a passionate cameo enthusiast and collector. If you ask how many she has, she'll sheepishly reply: "Not enough!".
While she doesn't call herself an expert, Marie has acquired much knowledge on cameos and is happy to share this insight.
Join Marie for an entertaining experience while learning things you might have yet to learn about the world of cameos. During and after the presentation, many may say something like, "Well, I didn't know that"!
