[QUOTE="Calico, post: 186049, member: 98"]Mid-late Victorian, could very well be gold, not unusual to have no marks or as others have said, the shank could have been modified or replaced. Might be banded onyx where the white and black are all one piece but the white has been carved away to to form the black frame, or it could be layered. Does the cameo portion look like it's been applied to the black surface or does it look like it's all one piece ? You really need to take it to a jeweler who knows antique and estate jewelry and can test both the metal and the stone.[/QUOTE]
