<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 361020, member: 5833&quot;]Hi, Houseful.&nbsp; Yes, they are glass, made in a mold.&nbsp; This figure is so ubiquitous, have to suspect she is still being made, but the cameos/intaglios were originally a product of W. Germany, so definitely post-WWII.&nbsp; Jewellery made using them can be from anywhere, I only occasionally see a completed piece marked as German.&nbsp; I can&#039;t say anything with certainty about the metal, but no reason it couldn&#039;t be silver.&nbsp; The degree of tarnish would be consistent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was going to speculate on age based on fact they are for pierced ears, which were not common in the US until the late 1960s.&nbsp; Since ring holding the parts together is not soldered closed, possible they have been converted from screw backs, so maybe earlier.&nbsp; More likely they are in original condition &amp; only the tarnish indicates they were not made last week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
