Cameo of a young Child
Cameo Portrait of a young daughter carved onto layered agate.
Cameo Portrait set in 19kt white gold
This has been one of my favorite projects from the last few years. I was able to really showcase all that I could do to create a very personal gift.

The cameo arrived today. My wife was overjoyed. Thank you for creating the best gift that she could ever imagine. I had involved my 3 year old daughter in the process along the way: showing her your website, proposal and stream of e-mailed photographs.
She was quite excited to see the finished piece, but managed to keep the surprise. Even better, she was delighted to see her mothers reponse when she opened the gift. Thanks again for creating such a lovely work of art.

One of the cameos that carver Gareth David Eckley is most proud of is the result of a commission he received from a Chicago couple. Using a photograph as a guide, he hand-carved a likeness in blue agate of their young daughter.
Highly personalised cameos like this one accurately and lovingly, capture a moment in time of a beloved family member…
