[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1854345, member: 5833"]She's a lovely thing. Have you found any tiny marks hidden among the tarnish? As BMRT said, She is a separate piece from the background layer so take care in cleaning as she may be glued on, in which case she could come unstuck. Do I see little Psyche wings on her head? [URL]https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/psyche[/URL] Too bad she is currently unwearable but think a jeweller could restore as a brooch or add a bail for wear as a pendant. Since mount is silver, shouldn't cost an arm & a leg. The glass cameo is probably French; would not be surprised if the ornate setting is as well. If it is, purity is likely to be 800, & it will be marked. Your box is yielding some nice things. :)[/QUOTE]
