[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9742312, member: 79705"]Ceres is the last one you posted, with the wheat stalks in her hair. You're really going to love [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER]'s website [URL='https://cameotimes.com/']Cameo Times[/URL]!

Others will come along! We're just more laid back here. It's much more common for fine cameos to be held in by metal rings, prongs, beads or the frames.
