<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4170624, member: 5833&quot;]The degree of translucency is inconclusive.&nbsp; I tried backlighting both an ivory cameo &amp; the Celluloid Ceres &amp; they were very similar on this quality.&nbsp; But Isabella lets quite a lot of light through, so think the whole thing must be on the thin side, which would account for the light weight.&nbsp; Is most of the weight in the mount or in the cameo?</p><p><br /></p><p>Really think Celluloid is untenable just on the grounds of who would make such a thing?&nbsp; And why don&#039;t we see more of them on the market?&nbsp; Mine is a pretty lady type &amp; there are Celluloid cameos out there that aren&#039;t so different, but none at all like Isabella.&nbsp; From what I can make out in the photos, she has more depth than you find with Celluloid pieces, which are in low relief with very smooth contours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
