It wouldn't be upside down if you were lying on your tummy, using it like a summertime sled. This looks like a suggestion: [ATTACH]
This is barely related to cameos, just made me laugh. Somehow this guy: [ATTACH] reminds me of this guy: [ATTACH] For the story:...
Cameos are often set somewhere other than where they were made. Italian workshops seemed to have shipped them by the cargo container load to...
Absolutely correct. There is a large gap between the quality of the pin/pendant & the earrings, which would be worthless without the 14K findings.
Does look like it could be 900, but all the numerals are ambiguous to my eye. Could it be 925? Wasn't able to bring up the photo much. Some...
[ATTACH] Suspect it is the one corresponding roughly to 1978. The lotus blossom has a spare dot in the cartouche; date letter looks to have two...

Pretty sturdy stuff if no more damage than that was done. The billowing cloak would have been very vulnerable.
I can just see @kyratango fixing that up with some aluminum foil & paint. This is probably the material:...
Imagine you're as aggravated as I am that physicians who prescribe to treat you for one thing rarely alert you to problems the medication may...
You know your brooch is marked on the front as well as the back. Have seen this again & again, no concern that they had to squash one of the...
Any day now someone will write & ask if we have Prince Albert in a can. The mild attempt at getting the name & address of someone who might have...
Knew you'd be back. :) Took me a little looking at the signature this way & that, but realized it could be Santini pretty quickly. After that...
No, I'm afraid it's no help for dating. They had a system of date letters, & the national mark changed from a cat to a lotus blossom in 1946, but...
I remember that show: Eliza with a three.
Separate names with a comma.
