    Good afternoon all. I recently purchased three jewelry lots and would love some of your expert opinions if you would be so kind. I will post in three different threads. First up is a Freirich cameo that is on a 54" chain. I know that his jewelry was made in France. I was wondering who this cameo represents. It is 2 1/4" long and 1 3/4" wide. It has solid perfume inside. Inside the cover it says CORDAY. I tried to get a picture but the piece won't stay open and every picture included my fingers which were the only things that came out clear. I can try again if necessary. Do you think it is supposed to be Charlotte Corday? The woman seems a bit elegantly dressed to be her. What timeframe do you think it is from?

    Corday is a perfume manufacturer. I think the faux cameo/perfume holder was made by Freirich for Corday. That way you always had your perfume with you.
    The lady musician could be from a painting, I just can't remember who.

    AnyJewelry! Thank you so much. That makes so much sense. I can dig around and see if I can identify the image.

    Avon made tons of solid perfume compacts. I hope this one smelled better originally!
