    Edit: In case it makes a difference to your assessment, the setting is 10K gold. Think you can change your vote if you want to.

    I'm voting 20th century because of the pin style, and glass because of the back. :)

    Realized I had to select the view votes button. My first poll. Edited that request out.

    I came to the same conclusion, but different reasons. :hilarious:

    Let me preface this with, I have not a clue about Cameos. It looks like there's a leftover edge by the mouth and nose from a mold pour.

    For that reason, my vote is 20th century glass.

    Make me happy & tell me some of your reasons are based on reading the Show & Tell thread?

    I think it is 1890 - 1910
    So where does that fall? End of Victorian, beginning of 20th century?

    Now, I'm changing it to hardstone, since it's 10k. :)

    Absolutely -- mostly because everything I know about cameos comes from that thread.

    Initially, I ignored my thoughts about the setting (I thought it was older than the cameo option I wanted), but I also ignored my thoughts about the subject (which I think lends itself to the older options).

    Then I thought, it's possible that the two bits that made me think one of the modern options also works with one of the older options. So I changed my vote.

    To be fair, it's possible that the two bits that give me pause are a spot of dust and a trick of the camera, but there ya have it. :hilarious:

    EDIT: Unless she really is just a pretty lady.

    At this point, I've pretty much convinced myself that this is a trick question and she's made of stamped brass and spaghetti.

    Victorian to Edwardian I think, Victoria died in 1901.

    I am voting 20th century glass. The date because of the hinge and clasp and glass because of the texture on the back of the black. But WDIK :joyful:

    Nope, all the info you really need is right up there at the top. If you've been a regular reader of the bigger cameo thread, you have some additional general knowledge that is applicable.

    I'm standing by my second vote.

    Mostly because I'm on my way out the door and can't change my vote while driving. :woot:
