介绍（中）	这套珠宝（99.33.1–.6）中的客串是为了吸引一心想在舞厅里大显身手的购物者的眼球，带有典型的Grand Tour形象，包括（在项链的扣子上）Guido Reni 1614年的Aurora壁画（Palazzo Pallavicini Rospigliosi，罗马）、神话场景、罗马坎帕涅的农民，以及（在别针和项链上）Bertel Thorvaldsen一直很受欢迎的大理石浮雕《1815之夜》（Thorvaldens Museum，Copenhagen）。计费的鸽子装饰着耳环，其中一个手镯上有一个美丽的海洋女神和一只海豚。印花金丝的脆弱配件表明这是一件服装珠宝，不适合经常佩戴关于物质，这种物质相对较软，由贝壳制成的骆驼很少能从早期存活下来。这样的客串比硬石客串劳动密集度低，不允许透露那么多的颜色和阶层，因此也就不那么有声望了。然而，在有能力的雕刻师手中，贝壳浮雕可以达到高质量。最珍贵的贝壳是头盔属的，美国人可能比最好的硬石更容易买到。
介绍（英）	Made to catch the eye of a shopper bent on ballroom glory, the cameos in this set of jewelry (99.33.1–.6) bear typical Grand Tour images, including (on the necklace’s clasp) Guido Reni’s Aurora fresco of 1614 (Palazzo Pallavicini-Rospigliosi, Rome), mythological scenes, peasants of the Roman campagna, and (on both the pin and the necklace) Bertel Thorvaldsen’s ever-popular marble relief Night of 1815 (Thorvaldsens Museum, Copenhagen). Billing doves grace the earrings, and on one of the bracelets are a comely marine divinity and a dolphin.The rather flimsy fittings of stamped gold filigree suggest that this was costume jewelry, not meant to be worn often. Regarding material, the substance being relatively soft, cameos made from seashells rarely survive from early periods. Such cameos are less labor-intensive than hardstone ones and do not permit the revelation of as many colors and strata, so were accordingly less prestigious. Nevertheless, in the hands of able carvers, shell cameos could attain high quality. The most prized shells were those of the helmet genus, which may have been more available to Americans than the choicest hardstones.
