Agree. The BA may indicate the setting was made by a jeweller registered in the Italian province of Bari. The helmet shell cameo itself is...
Late to the party, but my 2 cents. I have an ongoing disagreement with a dear, dear friend, who is just as knowledgeable about cameos as I am, if...
Yep, yep, yep. 1950s, 60s latest.
Hi, Simona. You already have what there is to know about these cameos. I would only add that the lava piece looks to me like it was molded &...
You already have full & sound guidance. There is a contemporary cutter named Ciro Accanito, but this is not his signature. 'Fraid I don't...
Thank you, Everybody, & thanks Simona for passing on news of my resurrection. My biggest accomplishment of the last 4 months: [ATTACH]
Thank you, one & all. I have so much to catch up on, my appearances here may be limited for a while to (ahem) cameo ones, but I'll try to nip in...
The stone is almost certainly a lab-grown color change sapphire from the Soviet Union. Nearly all Egyptian jewllery I have seen with this stone...
All look like glass to me, I'm afraid. These little fobs often are when they are not meant for engraving. Kind of a cool looking Athena...
@PepperAnna @Figtree3 Great work you two. Had not encountered the Jouanins before. Just popping in right now. Will have to come back & get...

[IMG] We found this guy IDed as Telemachus after bluumz acquired one in conch shell a while back....
We eventually found it is Mouhé, but the first initial is slippery.
Thank you, my friend. Think if I had not been vaxed I would have been very, very sick.
Yup. Resin.
Hi guys. I'm on the run, so quickies: I think you are spot on. Any cameo riveted together is going to be man made material This looks like...
Fatigue was a major feature of whatever hit me too. In retrospect, I must have had a fever (I don't have a thermometer) because the apartment...
Thank you, Judy. Feeling well actually feels kind of weird. :kiss:
Separate names with a comma.
