<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 443174, member: 5833"]Yes. But it's what we're seeing more & more: resin that is a very good match for the color of shell. A back that is covered over when it doesn't need to be - rings are an exception - should always make you look extra hard, because it is so often an indicator that if you could see the back you would have no illusions about the material. Bezels on helmet shell pieces generally have to rise & fall to follow the contours of the shell. As with most hardstone pieces, resin cameos can sit in a bezel that is level all the way around, like this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
