Company Profile

 

  In the south of Italy, near Naples, in a small town under the feet of Mt. Vesuvius,  Torre del Greco, on February 19th, 1910  Gaetano Scognamiglio was born. Although his parents were both doctors, at the young age of 15, he started having great interest in business, until when in 1928, at the age of 18, he started manufacturing coral and cameos and established his own company with the name of GASCO (GAetano SCOgnamiglio).

    Great willpower, a humble character and great dedication to his work were the qualities which helped his company to become bigger and bigger

     In 1950's Gaetano's sons, Rosario and Michele started helping him, who was very busy with his frequent business trips abroad, which at the time lasted days only to move from a country to another.

    In 1985 company name changed from GASCO to CASCO, but the dedication to work  was always the same, obtaining the same great results.

After the death of Gaetano, who continued working until his last days, happened on October 23rd, 1999 Rosario's son, Paolo started working as sales manager in the company, and thanks to his Japanese and English speaking attitudes  improved company contacts with Japan and America.

 

    The shell and coral carving center of CASCO s.r.l. uses a method thousands of years old.  The use of steel gravers with handles, fitting the hand, are used in a timeless tradition of master craftsmanship.  The master carver will select the shell to be used, outline the number of cameos to be obtained from that shell, and then supervise the entire carving process.  With these incredibly sharp precision tools, the most intricate  details can be obtained. This explains why cameos have turned out to be such an "INVESTMENT" to be handed down from generation to generation.

    No matter what profile or scene you choose, it is sure to be an "INVESTMENT" that will be cherished.

Cameo jewellery is not only an investment for the purchaser but a gift for the next generation!
