[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 5498859, member: 5833"]Welcome, Merry. How nice to have these handed down to you. The cameo who is wearing a necklace herself is said to be [I]en habillé[/I], dressed. These were very popular in the 1930s. Is the ring white gold? She also looks 1930s to me. The other cameo could also be 1930s, but might just as well be 10 - 20 years older. You can make a better guess since you know how old your grandmother was when. All 3 cameos are cut in helmet shell. Would have been done in Italy but set elsewhere. The VIII probably had meaning in the workshop where the cameo was made, but does not tell us anything now & has no bearing on value.[/QUOTE]
