<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3491864, member: 5833&quot;]An interesting question.&nbsp; I certainly see resin cameos these days that are frighteningly realistic.&nbsp; The materials available today are phenomenal, just ask [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] , but getting the color just right would be a challenge.&nbsp; I have seen mounted cameos with a moderate chip that have had another piece of shell fitted to the gap.&nbsp; I&#039;ve also see pieces that have had some metal added to the setting to cover the missing area.&nbsp; One option to overcome the damage is to remove nearly all of the background layer, leaving just the white figure, &amp; then set in a custom mount.&nbsp; I&#039;m with you in deploring the damage that is being done to some beautiful pieces so the gold can be scrapped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
