<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 186002, member: 44"]With that Roman nose dates it to at least the mid 1800s. The low bun hairstyle was popular in the 1840s to possibly the 1860s. Do get the gold checked. In one of your pics the gold almost has a rose gold look, but that could easily be caused by the lighting. I'm not sure what the black base is. Jet is a possibility. Many cameos were set on black jet. Jet is either black or dark brown. Then again it could be black onyx, but I can't see any of the parallel banding that is in most onyx.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
