Gemstone engraving. Contemporary cameos and intaglios with Inga Tomilina

Options of what can be created:
A cameo is a convex relief image engraved in a natural two-layer stone, whereby changing the thickness of the white agate's layer (so that the colored base layer shines through it), you can achieve a smooth transition of colors in your image.
Intaglio is a gemma with in-depth image. Since ancient times they served as seals. You can also create intaglio in transparent stone, and enjoy your ornament from the other side. Inga will prepare samples of ornaments, but, if you already have an idea or favorite symbol, you may, of course, follow your own motives, ideas and designs and accomplish wonderful gems.
