Global trend alert:Chrome Hearts cameo accessories

The jewellery of choice for Victorian queens is back on the runway.

Your grandmother's Chrome Hearts jewellery box holds one of this year's classiest accessories — the cameo. Fashion houses are teaming chunky cameo Chrome Hearts  jewellery with romantic silhouettes to create collections that looked straight out of a fairytale.

This vintage-inspired mini-trend has its roots in the Victorian era, when queens and princesses turned cameo carvings used to seal papers, into delicate Chrome Hearts jewellery. Queen Elizabeth famously wore seashell cameos carved with flowers and mythological characters. You will find this royal accessory in 18th century paintings and pop culture references to ancient Rome.
Wear a cameo pendant, earrings, pin or brooch to give your ensemble a timeless quality. Instead of the classic seashell cameo, you can now choose from a piece made out of rare gemstones or lava rock. Pin a cameo to your collar or scarf.
For a modern look, mix it up with a sheer blouse, pencil skirt and stilettos with cameo earrings. The 1960s mod look blends well with cameo jewellery.
