I love the unique design. Definitely an occasional ring if I had it because I just know I'd catch those edges on things.
That Scottish brooch is absolutely divine. I hope you wear it! Post prong check, anyway. I also love the Pearl bar brooch. Delicate but well balanced.
These are so great! It's so nice to have cameos of real, known people. Queen V's little crown is so great.
Definitely a hobbyist. It has pleasing colors and nice texture. General rule: Canvas panels are usually naïve, hobby, student, etc. painters...
It's the subtle pink that really MAKES it. It's such a unique piece to find. Thanks for sharing!
This is the kind of thing I will never find where I'm at--no matter how early! :playful: Super jealous of your find and 8 is astounding!! I'm very...
I still don't have a conch cameo because though they are numerous, so are the poorly carved ones, and when there's finally a well carved one the...
Ah yes, this is the kind of Christmas catalog I would actually accept ANY gift out of! That little grotesque pin is so adorable. The micro mosaics...
Jewelers are really terrible with cameos... There's no certification that covers them that I know of. I've seen many jeweler cases with incorrect...

This was the exact thing I was picturing. Probably a bit less expensive than the (more accurate?) solid silver. Might be lighter too for long wear.
I think he collects them like he does books. Always a new specialist to pick out. :nurse: I will not say he feels "better" but... different....
Your Gabrielli may not be as well carved but still what a thrill to discover a signature and a new (to us) artist! The Lebas has such a fitting...
Uuuuugh I'm sorry. My husband has a delightful constellation of obnoxious medical issues and he had to do fodmap for some time this year. Luckily,...
I'm sorry you didn't get the framed piece but the Mars and Venus cameo is even better. A really stunning piece of workmanship. Thanks for sharing...
That is NOT how I would describe it!! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: What are you EATING over there?? :nailbiting: But I would take it to...
Hm perhaps we are having a misunderstanding. No one here in the art world is worried about nudity or thinks it's unnatural. I've made nudes much...
What I can see of that K looks correct to me. I'll take it off your hands either way! I'm sure the stash won't miss it.....:joyful:
