[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 348852, member: 2844"]I can vaguely see lines on the cameo, so it could be coral. But I've never seen coral with such a 'soapy' look. Did you try the lemon juice test? A drop of lemon juice on coral will form bubbles because of the calcium content. I agree, it is a marriage, and both have had a rough life. I've seen that 'mad hatter' engraving before, on 60s jewellery. Even then I wondered what the engraver was on.;) The white back is a mystery.[/QUOTE]
