[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 318893, member: 5833"]Know AJ & others have already seen my more through reply in the [URL='https://www.antiquers.com/threads/cameos-show-tell-or-ask-answer.23493/page-3']Cameo Show & Tell thread[/URL].

I am extremely pleased that the ring will stay with the family & is not hidden away. Yes! Please do not hesitate to pass it on through a daughter, whether she would wear it (a pinkie ring on a man fits lots of women's ring fingers) herself or preserve it for a male in the next generation. Some of my best pieces came to me because of the opposite situation: a cameo set in women's jewellery inherited by a man who had no female to give or bequeath it to. How are we doing on the anseriform bird?[/QUOTE]
