Oh, I am in love! Although there is an extra zero at the end of the price tag. Too rich for my blood. However, if money were no object . . .
Find of the year for sure! Items with such age seem to have an invisible weight to them. The gravitas of history I suppose. Irresistible.
Looks to be 9ct gold frame and a carved shell cameo. No reason to think it isn't real, as far as I can see, however value is another story.
I also vote jade! Could be a nice necklace with minimal work. Or you could take the opportunity to add a central dangle/pendant of your choosing...
I wouldn't worry too much about the glue on the back but that looks like a big repair on the front of it. I would probably pass on the piece, if...
Whoever made this was no amateur. Quite attractive necklace! I may be on the outside but I even like the crystal hearts.
Could it be Connemara Marble?
It really is a gorgeous owl. Be still my heart. :jawdrop:
Personally, I think it looks awkward as a stick pin. I would disengage it and put it on a thin gold chain. It would make a pretty, dainty pendant...
I'm not sure. Is the workmanship perfect? I was always told it should be with Tiffanys. The extra "25" gives me pause. Every time I find Tiffanys...

Beautiful item! A couple of years ago I bought some gold heart dangle earrings at a yard sale for one dollar, nothing fancy but for the price I...
Mexico silver can be incredible, and underappreciated in my opinion. Except for any piece I try to win in auction, that one will be appreciated...
I like the stylized curls on the cameo.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece, including explanation. Our collective knowledge is growing! You have a real eye for the good stuff.
I don't recall ever seeing this before. The colors are so vibrant!
It's a very striking piece with those textured loops. Nice find.
Could be a reused canvas, the crossed out part and the "made in Sweden" part could be related to the earlier life as a different painting.
