[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 345438, member: 152"]It is a little hard to tell from the photograph, but that cameo looks like taille d'epargne. From Lang Antiques, "where engraved lines forming a design are incised into the metal and are filled with opaque enamel- usually black". The brooches I've come across that are taille d'epargne are usually gold filled though of course it's always best to test when in doubt. [COLOR=#ffffff].[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
