You are probably correct that a couple of stones or maybe pearls are missing at the top, but it's really not obvious at all. With the simple acid test, 800 silver will test positive. From statements I've seen in some eBay listings, some people do not know that a positive acid test does not guarantee sterling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't think I've seen the cameo before, even though no doubt mass produced. She looks like a progenitor of the ubiquitous German headband girl. Is she glass?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the piece has great interest of its own. If stones or dangles are missing, it's not obvious. It otherwise appears to be in excellent condition.
