<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 424657, member: 649&quot;][USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] My 82-year-old mother passes on a few bits of jewelry to me every few months. When I visited yesterday, she gave me this Carnelian shell cameo. She stated that her sister-in-law, my aunt, gave it to her 20 or 30 years ago. My aunt was known for picking up bits and pieces here and there at charity shops, etc. We have no idea if the box it is in is original. The box states it is rolled gold however “silver“ is marked on the back. I suppose that could be mean that the base metal of the rolled gold is silver.&nbsp; I haven’t been able to find out very much about Sharmaine jewelry. The few other brooches I have come across have all been marked Sarmaine Paris and had trumpet-style clasps, this does not have a makers mark and the clasp is entirely different. Age estimates, info about Sharmaine, etc. are appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: My aunt lived in England, which is also where my mother was born/raised.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]148470[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]148471[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]148472[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]148473[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]148474[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]148475[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
