<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 1830741, member: 5833&quot;]This is an instructive find, if it has been dated correctly.&nbsp; The helmet shell cameo of the pretty lady type is so eroded &amp; so common across a long stretch of time, it is no useful in dating the ring, which is what Amanda (welcome!) hopes to do.&nbsp; There is not really a cameo question here; it&#039;s the elaborate mount that needs to be understood.&nbsp; Not sure whether it would be considered cannetille work.&nbsp; Very pretty &amp; unusual piece &amp; obviously much loved.&nbsp; Figuring out how many generations of the family will also require knowing the life dates of the grandmothers.&nbsp; But we need the eyes of those who know jewellery in a broader way than I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
