[QUOTE="UpAllnight, post: 9515636, member: 77794"]Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I actually didn't realize shells were used for cameos. A quick google search certainly brought up a lot of information. From the earring clasps would it be fair to estimate they are from somewhere between 1920 to 1960? I read up about cleaning shell cameos, and a soft bristle toothbrush and mild soap is suggested, but then to moisturize with oil. Is this a correct and what kind of oil? Would you ever clean the silver on these or just leave it? Hate to lose the vintage feel because of cleaning.[/QUOTE]
