I would give it a good soak, maybe even overnight, in water with a dab of dish washing liquid soap. I just use tap water, but if you have...
No idea, really. The diadem says goddess, the bare breasts say Venus/Aphrodite. Doves are associated with her, so maybe that's what the dive...
She's an extremely common figure, but far from the worst. I will remind people again of [IMG] (The Guernica of cameos.) And yours is at least...
Leprechaun or adolescent Vulcan.
It's divine. What size is 'small'?
Set strikes me as more 1970s. I was given a torque-like silver necklace for Christmas '75. Don't remember it being 'a look' in the preceding...
I have more than once, while walking in a city park, received a positive comment from an oncoming 20-30 something on my sunglasses, which I would...

On one hand, the hinge & clasp make me think late 19th. On another hand, the cameo itself seems earlier to me, from a time when they were still...
I had forgotten this one. Is it ceramic? Such a great image. Sometimes it's the Graces who tie him up. This time looks like they got together...
Swan, you goose. :kiss::kiss:
No, it's a designation any of us can make by clicking that button. However, suspect only the person who clicked on it can unclick it again, just...
@PepperAnna See you've been by the site again. We never came to a conclusion about whether to have a separate thread for cameo portraits where...

It's quite possible that he said something a bit more tentative (if misleading) - Perhaps this necklace even belonged to someone connected to...
:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: Nice one, I would have grabbed it too. Think seller likely correct that it is gilt or gold washed silver. I...
