WELCOME to THE ENGRAVED GEM
Bits and pieces of information about all things related to the ENGRAVED GEM. From antiquity to today’s collections and art. Though subdued, interest in the topic is alive and well. This site is a small, albeit a very small, slice of that interest.
THE ENGRAVED GEM. Mostly intaglios and cameos.
Welcome to “the ENGRAVED GEM.com”. This site is a collection of bits and pieces of material about ENGRAVED GEMS. Most of it can be found elsewhere – that’s where it came from. In some cases it is an original compilation of or comments about the work of others. It has all been congregated in this one spot, first, as a convenient collection spot and, secondly, as a presentation to those who may be interested. See the “ABOUT” page if you have any further curiosity concerning the origins and development of this site.
This is not a sales site nor is there any charge or solicitation associated with the site. MyI, the webmaster and, currently, the only contributor to the site started collecting intaglios 35 years ago. Then came researching the history, subjects, engravers, and collectors of the stones. Then a place to collect and organize the information; then the first website – “MYINTAGLIOS.COM”; and now this website.
To the right are page buttons in the form of books that open with a click to reveal a brief blurb about the contents of the page. Inside is a button that takes you to the page. All this does the same thing as using the menu buttons located above. Why all the rig-a-more-all? I just had fun doing it.
Use the menu buttons, it’s quicker.
New to the field of engraved gems?
This is a starting point and maybe a little bit of a refresher for some.
ENJOY!
A bibliography of sorts with hints and comments about the resources discovered during MyI’s journey into ENGRAVED GEMS.
Ideas. Questions. Concepts. Future Pages, Posts or Articles. Folders or holding bins for scraps and pieces found in MyI’s wonderings.
ENGRAVED GEMS, seals, and impressions – This is all about them. Their histories! Where are they? The collections!
Not only the subjects of ENGRAVED GEMS, but those who created, owned, traded, and wrote about them. Those who brought value and recognition to them.
Posts and comments about all things ENGRAVED GEMS. Initially by MyI, but hopefully, eventually, an exchange platform for all interested parties.
