<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 9461961, member: 5833&quot;]It has been cobbled together from 2 stamped metal parts, the cameo &amp; a pin assembly, all glued, as far as I can tell.&nbsp; Pretty sure the seller buys preowned costume jewellery, resells it intact if the condition is acceptable or cannibalizes for parts when not.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Right after winning I wrote to ask if the cameo could be detached &amp; sent by itself.&nbsp; Doubt it made a difference, but she did not see my message before readying it for the mail, so item came as was.</p><p><br /></p><p>The piece does not photograph well.&nbsp; Seller&#039;s pix made it look corroded.&nbsp; The finish on the main backing piece is a deep copper color.&nbsp; The little &#039;doily&#039; immediately behind the cameo has had a new coat of gold paint.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Have decided that it is less likely to get lost if it stays attached.&nbsp; The stone would probably be impervious to any solvent I could try on the slab of glue underneath it, but will leave it alone.&nbsp; Not a piece I would wear anyway.&nbsp; It just feels so incongruous to have this particular cameo keeping company with the boho elements.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
