<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 450448, member: 5833"]Realized we're forgetting that what is the outer frame now was never meant to be visible all the time. Originally, when worn, the walls of the bezel/memento compartment would have been mostly hidden by the outer mount, the frame within which the compartment could rotate. The way cabinetry has 'secondary' wood, I find cameo brooches typically have a secondary metal used for parts that are not strictly decorative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
