Lucille, your explanation and advice about working with the existing wire is great...you convinced me not to take any chances with it unless I...
Does the "O" on the back of the brass piece mean anything? I noticed the necklace is missing a little blue bead next to the clasp. I may have...
I found this Czech necklace today at a thrift store and am wondering if it could be by Max Neiger. I saw something similar on eBay that had the...
@komokwa and @Bronwen, you are both right about the cameo setting not being solid gold. I took it to a jeweler today for testing (fortunately no...
I really appreciate everyone's comments--thank you so much. I feel more confident now in describing this cameo brooch appropriately, but will...

Thank you.
