[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 871857, member: 5833"]Very good, everyone. Would definitely want to know from seller how gold fineness was determined. I would probably ask if there is a visible mark I'm just not spotting in the photos. The soft, rounded lines, fairly shiny surface & that circular pit on her right shoulder do all scream NOT LAVA! Hard to know without touching what she really is. Her big sister is 'lava glass', which is very convincing on texture & weight, revealing a glassy interior when chipped. [IMG]https://cameotimes.com/images/Ceres/CeresLavaGlassA.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://cameotimes.com/images/Ceres/CeresLavaGlassB.png[/IMG] She's less convincing once you've seen two or more identical ones. I know Jivvy would find this easier to pin on herself than she would most brooches. I would find it very awkward, & not just because I'm ambisinistrous.
