<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 236105, member: 2844&quot;]Mollie, if you have the time, could you add a close up picture of the coral? I would really love to see it.</p><p>A detail of the coral can show if it is carved, and possibly characteristic coral lines, etc.</p><p>From the pictures you posted, it looks like the cameos have soft features, usually a characteristic of molded faux coral cameos.</p><p>I regularly see Spanish and Italian molded faux coral cameos set in solid gold in auctions. They are not sold as fakes, they were made in southern Europe as a perfectly acceptable alternative to the expensive handcarved coral cameos. Up til about 50 years ago gold was relatively cheap in southern Europe, coral cameos were not.</p><p>This is not to put your jewellery down, I think it is very nice, and faux coral cameos set in solid gold do well in auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
