I had been before over 10 years ago and bought a couple of pendants, and was thrilled that this trip allowed time to visit again. My daughter & I loved exploring the place and we each bought a lovely sterling silver necklace with a small pendant set in silver. The carving was so exquisitely exact of a small seahorse surrounded by either CZ or Swarovski crystals - they sparkle with high quality. Our only disappointment was there was no one there at the time to show us working on the carvings. But plenty of examples of finished products.

This was our seventh trip to the stone Castle Cameo Factory in Roatan. Every visit we are more amazed. We went specifically to buy a piece that I saw 10 years ago and thankfully it was still there. It was a signature piece that I fell in love with and it is exquisite. The masters work is beyond anything we have seen elsewhere. We went on a See and Sea tour offered by Carnival Cruise lines and it gave us 30 minutes to shop which we definitely needed. We went over on time a little bit and the tour guide was gracious enough to wait because she knew we came to buy. We have been so many times we skipped the presentation in the beginning explaining how the cameos are made and how they harvest the shells, which is very interesting, but, we needed more time to shop. If you take a tour, make sure it offers enough time to allow you to look for that special piece that you would like to buy. One of the other tours only gives 10 minutes and that is definitely not enough time. Anyone who has an appreciation for fine jewelry would Love this Institution. It is wonderful to be able to purchase the pieces at the prices they offer. If they sold them in stores the prices would be unaffordable. We have not had the opportunity to meet Mr Tamarro yet, but, hopefully in the future. These cameos are far more beautiful than the ones made of Ivory because they can be shaded in a way to make them more dimensional. The staff at the shop are very friendly and helpful. If you purchase with cash they will work with you on discounts. They are very fair with their pricing. We purchased a bracelet, earrings, a necklace and the signature piece and we felt the pricing was very fair and reasonable. This is definitely a place that one should experience at least once in their life, but, once you've been, you will want to go back. We are always interested to see what is knew and different from the last visit.

If you have never been, this is a must-stop for exquisite hand-carved shells and jewelry (the Italian way!).

I highly recommend the Stone Castle Cameo Factory. What an amazing experience to see the master crafter at work and to learn about the creation of the cameo from a shell.
I had a hard time finding the Factory’s hours as I was a visitor on the island not with a cruise ship. It is open only when cruise ships are in port and close by 2 pm.

My bestie took us to the Stone Castle Cameo Factory, she went on and on about the store. I was really impressed. We got there right at closing, they had already put most of the cameos away, they pulled about 12 trays out and I watched the young lady making a dolphin cameo. Quite impressed, I love dolphins and turtles. The best of both worlds, they explained the process of making these beauties. I will definitely say, if you are looking for something unique, this is the place. I am so glad we stopped, I think it was my best shopping experience yet, I cannot wait till we go back. You can see the ship from the shop, it is a hike from the ship, totally worth it. Bring cash, more for the bang of the buck. Love love this place.

You will really enjoy the talk at the beginning, seated outside in the shade, where they explain the type of shell used in making the cameos and see large carved shells. This is one of the few places where they still teach the art of making cameos, and we were able to watch one person who was carving.
Browsing through the large collection of cameos is wonderful and varies from traditional cameos to cameo earrings, bracelets, and the large carvings.
This is a good place to buy yourself or a loved one a beautiful treasure.

Visited the Cameo Factory in Roatan and was totally happy with the tour of the facility. The artist is now teaching the locals the art of Cameo making like he had learned in Italy. Wotrh the trip and money spent.

coming on feb 28 to coxen hole doing morning tour with Daniel Johnson but want to make sure we visit Cameo Factory. what are your hours.
Rédigé le 14 février 2024
What hours is the Cameo Shop open?
Will a taxi driver take us to the shop from the Coxen Hole cruise port?
Rédigé le 9 avril 2019
Yes, but just about every taxi driver will want to take you on a tour... and we have had to agree to a price to take us just to the Cameo Factory. We have been there many times and really do not want to do the other stops.

Can I get a taxi right from the cruise ship to the cameo factory?
Rédigé le 22 octobre 2017
I remember steps going out of the retail shop side of the building. Not sure on the entrance/info hall side. If no steps there, you could easily reverse course and exit that way. At worst, it's 2 or 3 steps. If going with family or on a guided tour, I'd hope it would be possible to be assisted up and down a couple of steps. There may be no steps out the back door to the restrooms, and there might be a path from there to the front parking area (this property is the size of a city residential lot, with the building around the size of an average home, maybe 2,000 feet on main floor). The building appeared to be on level ground, and with multiple workers who seemed friendly and would likely assist if needed.

Can I get to the the Stone Castle cameo factory on my own? Is a taxi the best way to get there? Can I take public transportation? Thank you
Rédigé le 1 octobre 2016
As I was on a coach excursion, I am not sure how far it was from the cruise terminal. I would think you could get a taxi, but I do not know if you would be 100% safe, or how far it would be. If you can book a tour or private guide, believe me it is well worth it. Italian people settled here years ago with these cameo skills. The most interesting part of this place is that the cameos do not only depict ladies heads. There are cameos with sea creatures (sea horses etc) and they are wonderful. Most of the cameos are set in silver. Hope this helps.

Could anyone tell me the days and hours of operation? Their email does not appear to be working.
Thanks
Rédigé le 13 mars 2016
They are typically open when ships are in port. They are aware of the schedule and are open then. They may close 30 minutes prior. Some days there are several people working and other days only a couple. It depends on how many ships are in port.

I would like to know if Franco Tamaro is still at the Stone Castle Cameo Factory, i was there in 2013 and bought several cameos and corresponded with Franco for several months. He got very sick and all correspondence with him stopped. i was wondering if he is ok?
thank you, thomas prasil

I'm sorry but I didn't interact with him when I was there in July 2015 - doesn't mean that he's not around, but a lovely woman helped me when I was there.

Does one have to take a tour to get to Stone Castle? Or can we take a taxi? Thanks.
Rédigé le 20 décembre 2015
You don't have to take a tour - not sure how far it is from the port, but a taxi would still probably be cheaper than a tour (unless you wanted to see other places that a tour might go). In hindsight, there wasn't much on the tour that I couldn't have done without and would have been perfectly happy just going to the factory on my own. Not to mention that we had barely any time at all to shop - and I didn't even stay for the presentation (I had read a post where someone said they wish they skipped the presentation in favor of more shopping time, so that's what I did) - I just went straight in, grabbed a salesperson and went to work!

Hey there!
I'll be visiting Coxen Hole in two weeks and am wanting to bring home a souvenir from this factory. Could anyone help me out with how much I should expect to pay for a larger shell?
Thank you,

What is the pricing like at the cameo factory? I'm registered for the excursion that goes there in July and am hoping to purchase something memorable, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Can you give me an idea of the price range for, say, some of the smaller to medium size pendants? Thanks!
Rédigé le 12 juin 2015
I think the smallest were ~$20. My mom got a ... I'd call it medium sized...there are certainly bigger ones. I can't remember for certain, I want to say it was $80-$100 range though. She looked at another that was maybe $40 more. I think my reviews have pictures of them side-by-side for reference, if that helps.
