    I have 3 strung cameos which I got last Friday in a bag full of jewelry.
    They all 3 look hand carved but of what though ? I have no idea, they feel like stone or glass when tapped on my teeth, not resin or plastic.

    Anyone have any ideas on age ? Not gold or silver, I already did an acid test and magnet test.

    Thank You

    I think they are modern Czech cameos. I have similar one from 1980s. Cameo.jpg

    Hi,
    Those "pointy" noses give me concern. I think i was told that they were modern day Italian. Pony tails and pointy noses were a no no was the message. I do not know any sure about cameos.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    All three are carved from shell, and I think they all date from the mid 20th century (roughly 1940s to 1960s).

    I'm going to go with your reply, that era sounds about right.
