<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4510086, member: 5833"]Pepper is every bit as knowledgeable as I am & I agree with her on this one: cameo definitely much newer than the mount. My opinion only differs in that I think the cameo is even somewhat newer, 40s/50s. You can see on the front how the bezel had to be crimped to hold the cameo. I'm afraid those stress lines may have been caused be wedging the shell into a frame that is just a tad too small.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think the setting is probably Italian, as is the cameo, although the marriage like as not was made elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
