<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4339338, member: 5833&quot;]Was shocked when this didn&#039;t sell for at least the opening bid of $200, then stunned when I read that it has 2 triangular diamonds &amp; 3 others are missing.&nbsp; This could easily be the finest thing an exhibitor at the Antique Jewelry Show would show me to try to impress me &amp; it would be priced in the thousands. Say that it&#039;s significantly damaged somehow, bidders pass it by.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://image.invaluable.com/housePhotos/BarrySSlosberg/59/711059/H1285-L269699051_original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-diamond-habille-cameo-pin-pendant-2b747698f9" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-diamond-habille-cameo-pin-pendant-2b747698f9" rel="nofollow">https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-diamond-habille-cameo-pin-pendant-2b747698f9</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This sold for $75</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-habille-cameo-pin-pendant-1ab41b590d" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-habille-cameo-pin-pendant-1ab41b590d" rel="nofollow">https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-habille-cameo-pin-pendant-1ab41b590d</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Even though seriously misdescribed, was a bit surprised that this one was passed up.&nbsp; I should add that auctioneer&#039;s opening bids were routinely much lower than the ones posted on the Internet, so a bidder probably could have had&nbsp; it for less than $100.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-coral-cameo-mourning-pin-pendant-31043faa77" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-coral-cameo-mourning-pin-pendant-31043faa77" rel="nofollow">https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/gold-coral-cameo-mourning-pin-pendant-31043faa77</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My hope that this one would be seen equally as of little value were not realized.
