In order to identify an authentic antique cameo from the Victorian era there are several key details that must be identified. Authentic carved cameos are made from natural materials, such as shells, agate, onyx, ivory, coral, mother-of-pearl, or other gemstones. Due to the durability of these materials compared to plastic or resin used in fake reproductions, authentic cameos should have no visible cracks. Authentic cameos are also less likely to shine under light, having a more matte finish due to its material. Cameo carvers from the Victorian era paid extremely close attention to the details of their work, so authentic cameos will likely always have many details, especially in the hair or dress. Cameos made in the Victorian era commonly depict scenes or characters from Greek and Roman myth, following the trends of the time. On authentic, hand-carved cameos marks from the professional carvers can sometimes be seen under a magnifying class, as imperfections are a great sign of being carved by human hands instead of being molded from plastic or resin.
