[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2464846, member: 5833"]Acetic acid dissolves calcium carbonate. In other words, vinegar is not good for nacre. Plain water & a toothbrush may remove the worst if there's really an incrustation. In the one photo, looks as though the verdigris is on the twisted wire decoration, not on the main body of the mount, so think any other occurrences will be limited. As already noted, marked for 800 silver. I don't know the additional mark ahead of it. CG? Afraid the crescent shaped mark doesn't ring any bells either. There are many cameo manufacturers in Naples. No, but at least it's an intact parure & will be very pretty on; the MOP has nice color. 'Cameos Factory' may well be the name of the maker.[/QUOTE]
