<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9561626, member: 79705"]Thank you! I'm glad you too appreciate a piece for it's look, even if it's not precious metals and stone. "Cut with a fork" genuinely made me LOL because it's SO TRUE. I can also usually pick up an interesting costume bit for little money which is nice to offset the more expensive cousins...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen another mold with a star earring, and a Ceres in a similar shape, but not this exact one yet. I'm glad you're pointing out what I took into consideration to determine her material before purchase. Of course the seller didn't give a side view and she was dirty. I could tell she was painted, which is not likely on a stone piece. The too close to the edge "carving" of her neck I thought was a big giveaway. I also thought her frame did not look precious. I think she was $25 so I determined that's a price I'd pay for a unique Victorian costume piece regardless, so an easy check. I'm sure some of the ones you posted wanted hardstone prices! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie38" alt=":cyclops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The all-black Persephone photos are a cropped a bit close and it's a trick of the eye on color. She's actually inset into a closed back silver frame mount. Seller says "onyx or glass" so definitely the later based on what we know. Simona did well because this seller wants $125![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
