<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 443713, member: 5833&quot;]It&#039;s a nice little piece, &amp; he mentions it is marked.&nbsp; We can&#039;t see where he indicates, but possible it is sterling rather than Italian 800 silver.&nbsp; Vertically mounted pins often indicate a setting from the earlier Victorian period.&nbsp; Always the possibility that pin had to be relocated when replaced, or that this cameo is not what was originally in the mount, but from what we can see, no reason to think either is true.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure how the young lady plays her kithara while holding a scarf in her left hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny that this guy who starts off looking a knives leaves being most happy with the cameo.&nbsp; He shows us at length his time with all the little metal bits &amp; tells us what he pays.&nbsp; Can understand if seller of cameo did not want to be on camera, but he does not even tell us whether he had to look through a lot of stuff to find the brooch, nor how much he paid &amp; how much he expects to be able to sell it for.&nbsp; He just produces it, like a magic trick, out of his closed hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
