<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 8110286, member: 5833&quot;]Did you purchase it from a Netherlands seller?&nbsp; It&#039;s an interesting question I don&#039;t think anyone has ever taken up, just what tended to happen to cameos that were bought unmounted in Italy &amp; brought home to various other countries.&nbsp; Of course there is always the possibility that the cameo was purchased by a jeweller with the intention of setting &amp; selling, &amp; not by a grand touriste.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mounting a shell&nbsp; cameo in a bezel setting takes skill &amp; patience, as each one has to be custom made for that particular cameo.&nbsp; I wonder if it is something any competent jeweller of the day did routinely. or were there some who advertised this as a special service?&nbsp; If there were specialists, were they concentrated in certain places, such as London?</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s ask [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] if this frame, which looks so English to me, could be Dutch?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
