<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 335121, member: 5833&quot;]It&#039;s just more visible on this particular cameo.&nbsp; Most of the older ones have an inner frame, often of brass or lesser metal, between the cameo &amp; a bezel setting.&nbsp; It sometimes looks to me as though this inner collar has not been soldered closed, so my surmise is that it helped protect the cameo from heat needed to finish the piece or otherwise to assemble it safely.&nbsp; My jeweller is always very nervous when asked to do anything involving a cameo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
