You need to follow the link in the word Renaissance. ;)
Oh, and I also like acorns. Is that a necklace? Very suitable for autumnal wear.
I'm not a Cancer, but am very fond of crabs as an artistic motif. Suspect I'd also like the green-blue sparkly in the first pic. See you also...
Very pretty, but I would be very surprised if it were solid gold. Enlarging the photos shows tiny bits of excess material, a wastefulness not...
Put me in the Ramesh camp too.
The Madonna is like those seen on religious medallions asking her to pray for us. May she look after you. I once soaked a similar habille cameo....
In my experience, it is not uncommon for antique shell cameos to have a brass collar around them, even though the more decorative parts of the...
I'm not either, but wonder if it could be Boschetti. [ATTACH] Not that I could find a cameist with that name, but it's plausible as an Italian...

Thank you, belle dame. I'm trying to catch up a little, put in a few words here & there.
Random short remarks. I would go with Dionysus rather than with a maenad/bacchante for that one. Figure is a bit too covered up to be female....
What a lovely batch to behold. The one I know best is the winged lady leading 4 horses. She has her origin in the silver denarius struck by the...
Thank you, my dear. Trying to take in these most recent additions. A general comment about findings: I have noticed that at least some of the...
Mirana has already passed on much of what I would have said if I had seen this post sooner. Definitely 'hardstone' (from pietra dura), and dyed....
Separate names with a comma.
