Using a magnifying glass, try to look at your cameos from this angle: [ATTACH] You might be able to see some layering or a slight change of colour...
I’m having a little investigation of my own and can’t make sense out of it. Couple of months ago:...
Yes, there is a little bit of tension. After careful examination the setting looks even more suspicious. All the hinges look brand new and only...

Thank you Bronwen. I’m off to read about Angelica & Medoro.
