<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4492737, member: 5833"]I can't tell at the angle shown in the photo whether or not the 2 upper cameos are exact mirror images of each other. If they are, then they would be molded. However, from what I can see, think they are all hand carved. Neapolitan cameo cutters could crank these out & would not have cost jewellery manufacturers much to buy in quantity. Frankly, molded cameos generally look better than this. Are the backs at all concave? The pieces are small, so may be subtle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
