[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9432629, member: 5833"]The first one here is far & away the one that would be of most interest to a jeweller. When the figure herself wears jewellery, she is said to be [I]en habillé[/I]. I have no way to know about the quality of the stone, but the gold mount looks quite good quality. Cameo itself is competent, probably from the 1930s. The little lozenge shaped piece is unusual. Conch shell, from what I can see. I imagine it as having been used to keep a collar closed. Metal has aged well, possibly gold. What's written on the bail of the pendant? Appears pretty good quality. Cameo itself is middling, but as a whole it would be very pretty when worn. The last one in this group is a rather sketchy [URL='https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/olympian-gods/ceres-demeter']Ceres/Demeter[/URL] in conch shell.
