<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 329952, member: 5833&quot;]She needs a bra, that right breast is wandering.&nbsp; I had been going to say she was nice, just how nice depending on the price, until I noticed that detail.&nbsp; Don&#039;t much like her left hand either.&nbsp; The eagle&#039;s wings are the best part (&amp; he&#039;s clutching thunderbolts).&nbsp; The more I look, the less I like the quality of the carving.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller mentions that there are some hairlines, &amp; there are, mostly visible from the back only &amp; mostly very shallow except for that one you can see on the front, which is more pronounced.&nbsp; Better not to have them of course, but generally considered &#039;commensurate with age&#039; &amp; not a serious flaw.&nbsp; Does not look like they destabilize the piece in any way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do now &amp; then see for sale empty settings that once held a cameo or other oval thing. Chances of finding one that is perfect for you are slimmer than the hairlines.&nbsp; A jeweller should be able to grind a shell cameo to size &amp; shape if a little too large for a bezel setting, but yours does not have much edge to lose.&nbsp; A prong setting has a little more wiggle room.&nbsp; Still...&nbsp; And having one custom built is going to cost more than the cameo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Damaged pinchbeck setting, so-so carving, unless she is very cheap &amp; you like the way she presents if not examined too closely, recommend against this one.&nbsp; <a href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/hebe-and-eagle" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/hebe-and-eagle" rel="nofollow">Hebe</a> was a very popular subject &amp; comes along all the time.&nbsp; Think you can do better, eventually.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":writer:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie92" alt=":turtle:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
