<p>[QUOTE="lvetterli, post: 3443686, member: 130"]Hello, everyone. I have read this thread routinely even though I've not had cameos to share. Until I was looking in my jewelry box the other day for something and realized my mother's cameo was looking up at me! I remember her having it in the 50's, when I was a youngster and wearing it on special occasions. We were not particularly well off when I was young, we always had enough but not a lot of extravagances. Mother's only jewelry to speak of were her wedding rings and Aurora crystal choker and earrings. I'm not expecting this cameo to be set in gold or anything exciting but I think she is stone or shell, tapped on my teeth she doesn't feel like resin or plastic. The setting is very bright gold color but has no marks at all. She may be glued in to it. There are some scratch marks on the back but nothing that looks like a signature or mark. Headband girl? Please forgive the photos, my kids bought me a new computer for Christmas and I'm still learning to navigate it, I went from Windows7 to Windows10 and my head is spinning. Now that I have a good computer, I must replace my camera, poor thing is just 2.2 megapixels but I couldn't figure out how to use the ones on my phone which are much better! This is the best I got from the macro setting. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, Linda</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]302949[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302950[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302951[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302952[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
