[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4612127, member: 2844"]Just wondering [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] and others, I see the cameo is chipped on the back. I have a charming 1920s-30s (I think) helmet shell cameo with a similar chip, only the chip on mine is more on the edge and a very thin bit is visible on the front. The lovely lady herself, a Flora type with a beautiful face, is unharmed.:) She is set in a silver and marcasite brooch/pendant. I don't expect it to have been a valuable cameo in the first place, but she is nicely carved, better quality than most. How much would damage like that influence whatever value there is? Is there anything that can be done to make damage on a helmet shell cameo less visible? (No, I don't have a photo, and I don't know where she is hiding.:()[/QUOTE]
