[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 3621180, member: 5833"]There are cameos in mounts that have a memento compartment behind the cameo & set in a frame that swivels so the brooch can be worn with either face to the front. The plate behind the cameo is consistent with there having been a compartment on the other side. Maybe someone with more general jewellery knowledge will take a look & have an idea when these 'puffed' frames were in vogue. I would put it to the last part of the 19th century. It's not 20th.[/QUOTE]
