'item of jewellery' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'arrived with ring?' is the wordplay.
'arrived' becomes 'came' (come can mean to appear or arrive).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ring?' becomes 'o' (O is the shape of a ring).
'came'+'o'='CAMEO'

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cameo that I've seen before include "relief work" , "Piece of jewellery with carved portrait" , "Small role in film" , "Carving in relief, on a brooch say" , "Brief role" .)
