[QUOTE="KSW, post: 563115, member: 8708"]So I really should keep my hands in my pockets at auctions but I bid on a Jewellery box and amongst other treasures are these cameos. The brooch is curved and the surround is not hallmarked that I’ve found yet but it tests for silver although looks like it had a gold wash over it. On the frame are some marks initially thought as scratches but are not. S/-/-M/i/- but the slashes are upright. The pendant- is that what is known as a pinch beck surround? The earrings are odd as one is thicker than the other. I initially thought costume but with my (very) amateur gold test on a touchstone they are more than 9ct. I’d love any information as to dates etc. Thanks as always :-) [ATTACH=full]171580[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171588[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]171589[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
