<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 904496, member: 5833"]About half of it is correct. When the price of gold began to shoot up, it seems to have totally distorted the cameo market. At this point, the seller of this lovely has probably seen many comparable with comparable prices asked. It's like they think if there's any gold there, it has to be valuable. Suspect they also forget current trading price of gold is for 24K, not 9K, which would only be 3/8 the price, then use total weight of the pieces as if all parts were gold & take it from there.</p><p><br /></p><p>When your eye for good cameos becomes sharpened, & you realize that good cameos are not always in worthy settings, you are prepared to spot the bargains.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
