[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 1836003, member: 4864"]Hey, Bronwen. Glad you are doing well. :) Thank you so much for your post. I did as you suggested and gently cleaned the jet cameo with tooth paste. Using a loupe again, I was able to make out faint //// striations at the bottom of the head, where the rim of the veil is, as well as on the edge of the cameo where a piece of the jet border is missing so that I can see the cameo's rim. The striations don't form a cross-hatching pattern as far as I can tell, and aren't visible anywhere else on the piece. Any thoughts on the age of the ring?[/QUOTE]
