WE NOW OWN THE ENTIRE
CLASSIC CREATIONS CAMEO & BRASS BUSINESS They have retired from the cameo business after 28 years. We have purchased their entire inventory of cameos, brass & molds, as of May 15, 2006. Stay tuned as you will see the Cameos pages DOUBLE with all the new inventory we have acquired in quantities as well as MANY NEW FACES & BRASS. (We have already found several dozen new faces in the first bin). First the un-mounted cameo inventory (last page) will show the increase, then the finished jewelry pages will grow with: BARRETTES, EARRINGS, PENDANTS, BOOK MARKS, CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS, HAT PINS, BUTTON COVERS, BRACELETS & MORE. So stay tuned over the next few months & watch us grow! Note the pink box below with the evolution of our progress. |
WHAT IS CLASSIC CREATIONS? .. and how are the cameos made?
A couple who were mold makers took their own shell cameo collection and hand made latex molds. Sometimes details within the mold are re-defined with dental tools. They then take a liquid organic pine resin (domestic amber) - see photo of a cameo below, if they did not add color first to the liquid resin: So to most they add a color, and hand-pour the face into the mold. They may pour a second color for background. When un-molded, we do edging and antiquing work on each, and mount them on polished genuine BRASS, reproduction Victorian style backings. These are combo pin/pendants unless otherwise stated (a single jewelry piece on the back is a pin and pendant combined), see below: No machines are used to make these cameos. A handcrafted Where on Earth design, always one-of-a-kind! Each comes with an authentication card detailing this process. |
EVOLUTION OF THE CAMEO & BRASS PURCHASE As of February 26, 2006, we have had a custom-built 12 x 24 foot storage building delivered just for the cameo inventory that we will be adding soon as we bought the rest of the inventory & business. So stay tuned! The unfinished cameo inventory will show first on Cameos page 7 as we sort them. Update 4/17/06 (shelving & bins delivered), Glenn is installing them in the building: 4/30/06 FINISHED! We'll be bringing home the cameos soon: As of May 15, 2006, here are just SOME of the bins of cameos needing sorting, and the boxes flattened from unpacking the first group: And the contents of just ONE bin (we estimate 5,000+): |
