Not a great price to try to better reselling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller says it’s gold however the stamp is apparently very faded. <img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/ab59add3-6466-4ccc-85d7-c1031df47371-jpeg.182894/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The helmet shell cameo is also very eroded.&nbsp; Looks like some of the edge broke off between 7 &amp; 8 o&#039;clock &amp; bezel has been knocked in to hide the chip &amp; keep cameo secure.&nbsp; It was a so-so carving to begin with.&nbsp; Does it fit you?&nbsp; Another one that would look prettier on than in a closeup photo.&nbsp; $40 is OK for any gold ring.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/5e3bb0d9-461b-4106-a106-cbacf3a4c34e-jpeg.182897/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Helmet shell, looks like silver, probably 800 if it is.&nbsp; Definitely 20th century.&nbsp; Not only cracked, has had 4 little diamonds removed.&nbsp; Very common subject.&nbsp; Leave it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/ce2e82f7-4ece-4415-b8e5-9ad98bd70c50-jpeg.182899/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It qualifies as a cameo.&nbsp; &#039;Cameo&#039; is not a material.&nbsp; This is really rather pretty.&nbsp; Glass, it is true, but have not seen one with the ornate border that way.&nbsp; I find the setting unfortunately clunky, with the huge prongs clawing at the cameo that way.&nbsp; Revival, vintage, not likely to be silver.&nbsp; For $20, up to you &amp; how much you like it (&amp; would wear it).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
