    Is the cameo made of plastic Tricia? The metal doesn’t look to be gold or silver to me. Is it magnetic?

    Modern plastic cameo.
    1960s or later - good chance it is later.

    CC has it. I'd say 50s/60s, only because you still saw lockets then. They fell out of favor.

    Dead easy in this case; "Ponytail Girl" was never made of anything natural. You might get lucky and find real glass, but even that's rare. I've never seen her done in anything but plastic.

    Taps some things that you know to be plastic against your front tooth, then tap a glass item.
    Now tap the cameo on your front tooth. You should be able to tell the difference
