    Hi,

    I have got this beautiful cameo brooch. Would like to know more detail please?

    As I have seen before cameo but all wasn't like this. I dont know this one more worth it or not. Thanks for your information kindly X 123139817_750377962182715_2930866822096778422_n.jpg 123137129_3798142393531320_8299618723878020441_n.jpg 123002356_410038417055850_5548452850272958622_n.jpg 123165438_855841031831050_6352900314861371089_n.jpg 123135511_785210228692144_8305976440198061144_n.jpg 123135728_2425071977796789_6306825023700963118_n.jpg

    Tagging @Bronwen our cameo expert.

    To my non-expert eye, based on the texture of the back, it is a fairly recent piece. I suspect the cameo is molded rather than carved, maybe resin to imitate lava. I see lots of burst bubbles especially when I zoom in on her face and hair.

    I agree, except that from the back I'd guess more 1970s than 2000s for the date. She's definitely resin trying to be lava.

    The authority on the subject has been tagged— she may be able to tell you who your lady is or where the design comes from.

    You guys nailed it & didn't need me at all. Can't tell for sure, but may have been made in 2 molded pieces & assembled, & the mold may have been taken from a vintage carved piece as she is a type seen in 19th century cameos, not an invention from the time of her making.

    She's not anyone in particular, but you can think of her as Flora.
