It was made in a mold, which is essentially an intaglio, the reverse of the final image. But a gem was probably not used directly to make the...
Same here. Do you have something white, a towel perhaps, that is not bright white printer paper you could use behind it? Or something grey, like...
Not a repro of what? It's a repro in the sense that the original was the intaglio that made the impression. So maybe not a repro of another...
I'd like to know this too. Had exactly the same problem with a strand of MOP beads that has a screw clasp. Made a hash of it so that there is a...

Slightly earlier, I think. It has a safety clasp, but an earlier type. Mine has an art deco sensibility, so perhaps 20s into 30s. My little...
Well, after all, my lady's a goddess.
Sweet little piece. She has been dyed to that color, but still genuine agate ('hardstone'). The lady is not anyone in particular. These green...
