Amen to all of above. Will add that I have never seen a cameo that appeared to be Bakelite. Not sure I've ever even seen one represented that way.
At times, I have had the temptation to take my little diamond dust nail file to one.
It's fine. What we hate is being asked to make decisions about something with inadequate photographic information. :)
The last time I tried to consult it before trying to look for your mark it was also inaccessible. Just had my fingers crossed it was back up & it...
'Enhanced' is the polite word. :)
The setting definitely has a deco vibe & the whole piece strikes me as 1930s. Not a portrait, a fairly contemporary looking 'pretty lady' of the...

He came up before, in connection with the tension settings. He really has a different approach to thinking about jewellery. I was hoping there...
First, beautiful ring. I'd have trouble parting with it too, if it fit me. Second, great photos; opals aren't easy. Third, I would never have...
Faint suggestion of ivory here, but my overall impression is that they are not. [ATTACH]
That's why I included the word 'also', to add the head to the list. :)
Interesting. What metals do they alloy with the platinum? Or rather, which alloys are attracted to the magnet?
Looks to me as though the head may also be a separate piece?
Are we talking about these? [IMG] I looked at the thread & all your photos of them. The closeups clearly show chisel/file marks. None of the...
The only thing a magnet tests is whether or not a metal is ferrous, iron containing.
Separate names with a comma.
