<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4557437, member: 5833"]Hard to be sure from the one photo what's going on with this one, but now that you've drawn my attention to it, the edge visible between 1 & 2 o'clock looks unusually thick for a shell cameo & makes me wonder if this is resin wedged into a vintage frame. You do see thicker pieces of shell from time to time. However, if I were considering purchasing this, I would want more photos & might ask whether the back was flat or concave.</p><p><br /></p><p>The place around 3 o'clock could be a chip, could be a lighting artifact; it would not be deliberate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
