<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4627483, member: 18716"]Just been sorting through mom's old jewellery and re-discovered this. She bought it from a flea market in the 70's, I'd always assumed it was costume/plastic and she wore it quite a lot at the time. First time I've handled it in decades and it's a 9ct or 10ct gold mount and the cameo appears to be marble, pretty sure it has been carved as it wouldn't seem technically possible to mould/cast it with the undercuts and there are flaw lines/veins in the material. Hinge and catch look like they are replacements so not reliable for dating. Any thoughts on age/location?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]412530[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412531[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412532[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
