<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 6650080, member: 79705&quot;]Hello all!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always been drawn to cameos but never had the money (or foremother&#039;s inheritance) to own any. This past year I finally had a place in my career to be able to indulge my love of art and history, in wearable form. I took some time to find the first but I adore her. 14k mount, shell, unsigned, from the Edwardian period I am assuming.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420219[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420220[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>By chance soon after, I browsed the British Museum&#039;s collection and found a twin so that I could put a name and source inspiration to her. Having the name of &quot;Clytie&quot; led me to Cameo Times and to [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] &#039;s own Clyties featured on this thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>So in a bit of a love letter, I have to thank Bronwen for her immense scholarship on the subject of cameos. Not knowing Cameo Times was her work, I eagerly read everything and used it to help me find a few other cameos for my small collection. Feeling sad that there are few in my life that can appreciate the art form, I searched for this thread again and read all 280+ pages. I&#039;ve learned SO MUCH from Bronwen and the people here in this thread. Thank you so much everyone! I have a background in art and history, so getting to read everyone&#039;s work in this thread over the last 5 years has been a real treat better than any book on the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post my other pieces to this thread in future to add to the record and get the opinions of the experts here. I figure the more in it, the higher the chances that others find this wealth of knowledge as I did. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
