<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasemi, post: 4487888, member: 19961&quot;]Alright guys, the thrill of the hunt got me going and I think I might have gotten lucky. I purchased another cameo because it wasn&#039;t priced that high and the seller offers a 30 day return, so in case it turns out glass/plastic, whatever, I can return it.</p><p>I am a little nervous but I am super excited because when I looked at the pictures, I was like wait a minute...</p><p><br /></p><p>There wasn&#039;t much of a description and I don&#039;t think the seller knows much about cameos. (They have the few cameos they are selling listed with the same price).</p><p><br /></p><p>The photos aren&#039;t the greatest but I think that I found another stone carved cameo. And one that&#039;s filthy too haha!</p><p><br /></p><p>If I turn out to be wrong, that is fine too, again, I can return it, and I learned from my experience. But I felt like I need to see this in person because I am pretty sure it is a nice cameo, just needs a little cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reasons for why I gambled and bought it:</p><p><br /></p><p>- in one of the pictures (from the side) I think I can see a layering between the figure and the background. It is not that clear but I think I see it. It is where the hair starts around the forehead. It doesn&#039;t look abrupt, it looks like it&#039;s connected if that makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>- the frame looks like gold to me, especially because it has enamel in it</p><p><br /></p><p>- the catch looks like an early handmade safety catch that I don&#039;t think you would find on cheap pieces (I could be wrong though)</p><p><br /></p><p>- there seems to be a signature on the back of the cameo</p><p><br /></p><p>- I found a similar cameo on Etsy that is made of sardonyx and it has a similar figure and I believe that its signature might be the same as the one I got. So maybe they were made from the same person?? </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that similar figures are usually a red flag (meaning mass production) but I don&#039;t know. I listened to my gut on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know your thoughts <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> as I am always impressed of the knowledge and experience that people share in this forum.

(looks pretty similar)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]390768[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
