<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 429617, member: 5833&quot;]I like her very much.&nbsp; She is from early in what I think of as the Italian nouveau style.&nbsp; Have never seen a background treatment like that.&nbsp; My sense is that someone very talented who was well acquainted with the cameo canon of classical images, such as Flora, updated it to a more contemporary Gibson girl look.&nbsp; The findings indicate the brooch itself is a bit later than than the G girl, but have found that cameo beauties tend to lag behind the fashion times.</p><p><br /></p><p>See it does have a mark that was probably put there by the cutter, not a dealer.&nbsp; Afraid I don&#039;t recognize it &amp; doubt I could do any better even with the pin &amp; watermark out of the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mount is pretty without being obtrusive; appears well made.&nbsp; Imagine it is at least low karat gold, if not better.&nbsp; Depends on where it was set. If she calls to you &amp; the price is doable, go for it I say.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And show us when you get her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
