<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 334899, member: 5833&quot;]The Dante company used impressions from actual engraved gems.&nbsp; The original of this one is explained in the <a href="http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/record/FFE39D3C-2DB6-401C-8126-6AAF3832CDC7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/record/FFE39D3C-2DB6-401C-8126-6AAF3832CDC7" rel="nofollow">Beazley Archive</a>, which shows a glass paste one made to mimic the original amethyst gem.&nbsp; They added the photos of the cufflinks a couple of years ago after I brought them to the attention of the woman who manages the database.&nbsp; I just thought she would be amused, so surprised when photos added, maybe in part because it is easier to see the scene on the cameos than on the intaglio or the monochromatic impression of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
