Engraved by hand in Torre del Greco, Italy, a special collection of exquisite cameos is available for purchase in the Museum Store, in celebration of Lasting Impressions of the Grand Tour: Giuseppe Vasi's Rome. The cameos are made from conch shells delicately carved into works of art--depicting dancing Muses, the Three Graces, Venetian landscapes, Roman horses, mermaids, and portraits--set in 14-karat gold or sterling silver to wear as a brooch or pendant. $75.00-$1,600.00; Friends member $67.50-$1,440.00 |
Glass artist Penelope Rakov makes slices of glass dance with color in her Philadelphia studio, where molten canes of glass are melded, then sliced and polished to reveal exquisite patterns when they become necklaces and earrings. $79.95-$169.95; Friends member $71.95-$152.95 |
