[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4612335, member: 2844"]No buffing, I won't take it out of the mount for fear of doing more damage, it is set with prongs on the back. And if I buff anything on that side, the balance of the carving will be lost and it will be too small to fit in the mount, I have thought about possibilities to fill in a slither on the side, but there is the translucent quality of the shell to consider. Anything you add will be visible I think. I've thought of covering that bit with small pearls, tried to see what it would look like, and it made no sense at all. A pearl surround, all the way round, would cover part of the carving as well, making it look unbalanced and frankly ridiculous.;) Hoping our cameo maven knows a brilliant solution.:)[/QUOTE]
