<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4263179, member: 5833&quot;]The vast majority of older &amp; antique cameo jewellery pieces have no marks, neither on the cameo nor the mount.&nbsp; Newer pieces in gold or silver are usually marked for the metal fineness, but the cutters of the cameos remain anonymous.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say that when they are signed, cameos are more likely to have the signature + sometimes other info like location and/or date on the back.&nbsp; Some engravers do sign on the front, particularly the most accomplished workers in hardstone.&nbsp; The Saulinis did many portraits in shell &amp; signed on the front.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The face of the cameo looks quite clean, so no urgent need for a bath.&nbsp; What is that white stuff on the back, can you tell?&nbsp; Adhesive from a sticker?&nbsp; I would not subject her to aggressive cleaning methods in the hope of finding a mark that is probably not there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
