Oh dear, not where I thought this discussion was going! :nailbiting: I only run into fake bodies, or uh...very old skeletal remains in my job. I...
Sidebar, but I'm also small and have a couple of large belt buckles that I wear for fun with the right outfit. Making a statement is the point....
I know they are collected, but I don't see them sell sell as well as jewelry to as wide an audience imo.
Yayy! The BEST outcome. :joyful:
Looks like they took a link out and twisted the wire inside the bells to attach this. So maybe not a cut needed, but you could always enlist a...
Looks like there's a mark on the post. Might say 585 (14k) with a letter in front? IDK if it's a maker mark to help find the exact thing, but it...
@journeymagazine I forgot to say, I hope your auction goes well and puts some good money back into your thrifting empire! :joyful:

Very nice! It's always fun when the carver tries to use the top layer of the shell to give more depth of color. Cameos this old are technically...
Y'all are really convincing me these are great to collect and wear... :playful:
I looked at the two side by side because this print was so fine, but they seem to be exact. Also noted sites saying the original was circa 1850...
An appropriate name for sure! :hilarious: I love any sleeve with puff, though the ones I own are not nearly so dramatic.
I do so LOVE a puffy sleeve! The show Gentleman Jack did these silhouettes and unique hairstyles to a T and is was amazing to see them in action....
Original by Winterhalter, so perhaps Kauffmann was the print maker. "Fecit" Latin meaning "he/she made it" is a good word to look for on pieces to...
The rollover clasp is definitely a replacement, even without seeing the front, you can tell by the overall construction and the hinge. They sold...
Hmm monogram looks like an H I S to me. Interesting look to it.
Separate names with a comma.
