Without wasting my time to go look for it, suspect this notion, along with other incorrect ones, was published in Anna Miller's Cameos Old & New....
Reminds me a bit of Michael Negrin's stuff, but his dangle has his name.
I'm firmly convinced that sometimes the non-dominant, non-verbal side of our brains, for most of us the right side, can intrude silently into what...
@antiquelover69 No doubt this was a typo, but what a great one. We need that word: never ever let your past destory your future.
When I bought the cameo of the geniuses acting out Hades ferrying a hero to Elysium, it was part of a lot of 2 cameos. This one, of Shakespeare &...
If you wore it as a brooch on your chest, you might feel uncomfortable with how long people were staring at your boobs. Let us not forget...
She's a pretty large cameo. She lives next to an equally large sister, who is mounted in a cuff bracelet worthy of Wonder Woman. [ATTACH] The...
It's not just this one. Over the years I have seen pieces, especially some contemporary Italian ones, that were just so strange they deserved a...
Seconding Mirana: that is really so sweet of you. These days I am buying next to nothing. I have reached a stage where I'll see something &...
And when I first began to take a serious interest in cameos I would encounter sellers who were nostalgic for the good old days when they could...

It's hard to appreciate from photos just how massive this block of malachite-azurite is:...
That is really something! I've never seen a cameo done in malachite. Can see why it is one of your favorites, Bronwen. Glad I acquired it...
Now, did the ancients mean the same thing by "hyacinth" & " jacinth"?
Mount is 18k with French marks. Simple C clasp. Pin does not extend past the frame, but appears to have been replaced.
Thank you. Definitely one of my favorites. It's interesting as a mineral specimen too because it's a relatively large slice of malachite that...
Pleased to say, yes it is. The scene is by Thorvaldsen, the Shepherdess of Cupids. My favorite cupid is the one patting the dog's nose.
Based on the knots, I would say this was strung in China & this is its original form. As stones go, malachite is soft, & it has "perfect...
Wonder if it could be sapihiret? That's sort of the right palette. My camera & my eyes disagree in the same way when trying to photograph...
Separate names with a comma.
