A passionate man, using shells from the sea, hand-carved a likeness of his beloved woman. This carving symbolized her extraordinary beauty and their shared memories, expressing his lifelong admiration. In 1957, the Michele di Luca family sought to preserve this art of shell carving, a symbol of romantic love, for posterity. They dedicated themselves to creating exquisite handmade artworks from seashells, which have since been treasured by collectors worldwide. In 2012, the Michele di Luca family established the fashion brand Cameo Italiano, the first to perfectly embody the art of cameo carving in fine jewelry. Utilizing shells known as Emperor's Trumpets, they meticulously cut and hand-paint and carve them. The designs draw inspiration from European romanticism and classic motifs, creating a diverse range of collections. Within two years of its launch, the brand achieved remarkable popularity in Italy, with 500 points of sale and strong advocacy from fans of European handmade jewelry. In 2014, the Michele di Luca family began expanding into the global market, eager to share the beautiful love story from the Bay of Naples with consumers around the world who appreciate European design aesthetics.
