<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9848113, member: 79705&quot;]I bought this from a seller who listed it as a &quot;salmon colored stone&quot; and made sure to mention in the title the gold fill chain this cameo came with, but completely missed the 14K mark on the back of the brooch! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>She&#039;s nearly 2&quot; with 1.5&quot; being the coral. I didn&#039;t think I&#039;d ever find a large coral for sale in my comfortable range, but she was listed less than $100 and I made an offer just above that, which was accepted. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> Her frame looks like a leaf and berry motif. I think the stones are probably not glass and are lab sapphires or maybe something like spinel, though I haven&#039;t been to test them yet. Some of the leaves are plated in a silver color over the gold, which has no tarnish, so I&#039;m guessing they are white gold? Unless it was made before the wide use of white gold, in which case platinum? But I would think it would be marked for platinum (or silver) if it was used.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]492885[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I tried to color-correct her as close to the actual brooch as I could... Coral always auto-corrects so saturated!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]492886[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The frame is missing a leaf and berry, and one stone. I know my jeweler could repair them (they make custom work), but I don&#039;t currently have any desire to mess with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would I get away with calling her a Juno? Or do we think she&#039;s one of those genetic ladies that started mixing up the symbols?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
