I'm betting it was some sort of photo process with hand augmentation.
If I were guessing, I'd say late 60s "French" rococo and not antique. Just old.

A five-carat paraiba tourmaline would be OK too.
1928 Jewelry Company copy of a much older cameo or at least a takeoff on same. The texture on the back is a dead giveaway. There's no question of...

I'd say your holy grail is a brand new cargo van for all those estate sales.
It looks like someone copying NA style, but it's not hand stamped.
