<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 487560, member: 5833"]Noses are one feature to look for when dating cameos, another is hairstyle. The cameo is hack work; I would put post-WWII into the 1950s. Given the way the bezel gaps at the top but looks crimped at the bottom, I was going to suggest it might not be original to the ring, but the one INH found looks like original issue. I have seen reports of Italian cameo cutters going tent to tent to sell their wares to American GIs. No doubt a jewellery manufacturer could have picked up a box car load on the cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
