<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 871926, member: 5833"]There is no question the cameo is molded man made material. Whether cameo & mount were made by the same company or artificial cameos were ordered in bulk by maker of finished piece, wouldn't you expect the 2 parts to fit together well? The one type of cameo where I frequently see evidence of the cameo being cut down to fit a pre-made mount is shell cameos in jet settings.</p><p><br /></p><p>The imprecise fit bothers me less than the orientation of the pin. Jivvy is left handed; she would like it just fine. Think the vertical piece was added as a way to attach the bail. Whole piece now looks cobbled together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
