<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 279784, member: 51"]To echo what others have said, I think it is newer, agree with post 50's, and the carving is a bit simple, not so fine, and like others, curious why the setting seems a bit off from the cameo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it a jeweler offering this? If you really like it, I would confirm the gold content first if you are thinking about a purchase. If confirmed 18K, $100 with a ring size adjustment (they are probably planning to "stretch" it) seems a fair enough retail price. One has to consider the melt down on an 18K ring, not that you are planning to melt, but wouldn't it be at least $60 or so? With a size adjustment (our jeweler charges $25 for ring stretching), you aren't so far off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
