<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 283365, member: 36"]A lot of times you can see a seam where the colors were glued together too. Every once in a while you'll find a costume one with the bottom piece made of </p><p>"random pretty rock" and an applied profile. Those are rarer. The shell cameos are valued based on the quality of the carving, the size, and the quality of the setting. It always burns me when someone takes a nice cameo and melts the karat gold or sterling setting, unless the setting was broken somehow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
