Message:: [QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 455368, member: 33"]Your mention of this led me to remember a cameo that I bought at the gift shop of the Vizcaya Museum in Miami, Florida about 18-21 years ago. It's one of the type that is dyed blue. Not shell-- I think it's supposed to be agate but I've never looked into whether it really is. Just took some photos of it. There is a signature scratched into the back, but unfortunately not scratched very deep and illegible except that the first letter appears to be a G. And I can't get a photo of the sig as it needs to have bright light shining on it at a certain angle... but also, I'll bet it's not important. The diamond-shaped cartouche on the back has "760" and the oblong one has a small star followed by "302" and "NA." On the lower left back you'll see some spots. Those are reflections. This thing was probably made the week before I bought it and the metal has no stains at all. I'm mostly showing this because the setting does resemble the old bezel settings. Sorry the pic of the front is blurry. I thought it was going to come out more clear. Is that the goddess Demeter/Ceres?
