What a curious piece. It's lava-like, but wondering, even though it does not have the characteristic indentation on the back, if it is not one of...
That one looks like Lizzie.
I should have been more specific. I plead having written it at some silly hour when I should know my brain does not work well. Lecollectioneur...
If I could edit it, I would tweak my post to be more specific: those are ways a shell cameo can be mounted. The great majority of hardstone...
Frozen Charlotte?
R. Hearn?
Must be by Rod Sterling: stare at it long enough and you enter the Twilight Zone.

Can you say 'Quick & dirty'?
The cutter used a drill to finish off the center of the roses & some little curls of hair. Those drill holes became perfect catch points for the...
You would at least recognize Hebe and Day & Night.
It is probably more saleable wearable than loose. Due to the current high price of gold, the situation has been that cameos of lesser quality...
Separate names with a comma.
