So do I, but this was not a good time for fine cameos.
Think it would help if you showed the whole spoon. @DragonflyWink
It would relate to the setting, not to the cameo, so out of my realm.
Hope our jewellery generalists will weigh in on this question. The cameo will be Italian but the setting is most likely from elsewhere. It is...
The cameo looks 1950s, does not represent anyone in particular. If back is concave, it is shell.

Looks like they are meant to represent the Four Seasons.
I keep thinking it's marmot pottery. :beaver:
Not too surprisingly, my Iowa grandmother used it.
Separate names with a comma.
