<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 1317766, member: 5833&quot;]I have only seen these from the front (Verdura lions paw will find others).&nbsp; Think the secret would be revealed from the back, just the way cameos that are <i>en habillé</i> (the ones with jewellery of their own) show on the back how any stones or chains are attached to the front.&nbsp; Thick walled shells are tough things.&nbsp; Looks to me as though on the Verdura brooch the stones are set into what amount to gold strips.&nbsp; The strips could be attached in 3 or more places needing only tiny drill holes going through.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
