[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 5446680, member: 5833"]Not really. Can you tell whether she has been glued or the glass fused to glass? Can you catch a fingernail at the line where the 2 colors meet? It seems to me I have seen these pink on black glass cameos more often set in men's rings. Given the rather home made look of the mount for your pendant, am wondering if she might have been removed & reset. Good chance she was made in Czechoslovakia. Rummaging in my photos of glass cameos, found this: [ATTACH=full]415645[/ATTACH] Also this bit of live & learn from a cameo ring. As received, clearly in need of a bath: [ATTACH=full]415646[/ATTACH] After bath: [ATTACH=full]415647[/ATTACH] This one I would be willing to bet is French. They do it so beautifully you almost don't care the cameo is glass.[/QUOTE]
