Intaglio is a rare form of engraving that emerged before cameo, dating back to the 4th-3rd centuries B.C. This technique involves carving distinctive symbols and images onto gemstones, which were believed to have supernatural powers. Intaglio was popular among the wealthiest, including Catherine the Great. The difficulty in creating intaglio work lies in the fact that it's done practically blindfolded. However, today you can enjoy vintage inspired replicas of intaglio necklaces, earrings and bracelets to compliment any outfit.
