<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 371316, member: 5833&quot;]Greetings &amp; welcome.&nbsp; It looks like an interesting &amp; pretty piece.&nbsp; I can&#039;t see it as well as I would like.&nbsp; When you get the chance, try taking a couple more photos, front &amp; back, focusing on the cameo itself, taken against a white or buff background.&nbsp; The setting will probably just look black, but the color &amp; detail of the cameo may show better.&nbsp; When there is so much contrast between the different parts, it can be hard to get good photos using only one light source &amp; one background color.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a sucker for anything with acorns, so really like this mount, which is probably solid silver.&nbsp; I&#039;m not able to make out what is stamped into it.&nbsp; What is your best guess?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]127544[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The cameo itself appears in these photos to be molded, possibly ceramic.&nbsp; Without a better sense of the coloration, details &amp; texture, I am only guessing.&nbsp; A photo of it as it looks when seen edge on may also be informative, as would anything you can tell us in addition to what can be seen, such as texture to the touch &amp; whether or not the weight seems appropriate for the size.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the dangle have a set of initials on it?&nbsp; It does not look symmetrical enough to be simply decorative.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first impression is that it is a well made &amp; attractive piece, although the value may be more in the design &amp; workmanship rather than materials used.&nbsp; There is a Victorian sensibility to it.&nbsp; If it is 20th century, think it would be quite early.&nbsp; Late 19th seems more likely.&nbsp; Is it a pendant only?&nbsp; Or does it also have fittings for wear as a brooch?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
