<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9548147, member: 79705&quot;]Thought y&#039;all would like to see the result of a lot I bought cheap off of your standard extremely blurry, no details given, taken-in-the-dark Bay photos. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> I took nice ones though so you don&#039;t have to squint like I did. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455074[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;G&quot; Victorian bone brooch, Faux tortoise glass headband girl, Nouveau style lady, plastic earrings, ponytail girl necklace, gutta percha (??) Bacchante locket, costume Deco ring, 1978 Wedgwood Van Dell gold fill pendant brooch, gilt sterling Gibson Girl brooch, faux scrimshaw (???) ponytail girl, brass baby photo brooch, lava cameo, Catamore gold fill brooch, gold fill locket and faux (?) scrimshaw brooch.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455075[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455076[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Bought the whole lot chiefly to get her and the Bacchante. She looks like she&#039;s set in low carat gold with a replacement hinge. 1&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455077[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455078[/ATTACH]</p><p>I don&#039;t know the material on this one yet. The cameo is mounted separately and likely molded. I&#039;ve found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/946233969/victorian-bog-oak-locket-necklace-with" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/946233969/victorian-bog-oak-locket-necklace-with" rel="nofollow">a similar piece here</a>, with a different interior decoration. Gutta percha? GP cameo on an actual carving? Plastic? All molded? Curious... More photos of it and the lava cameo on the cameo thread. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455079[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thought y&#039;all would like to see the real deal next to the costume kind! Left is 10K with diamond on shell from my collection. Right is silver tone, plastic (idk what kind...plastics aren&#039;t my forte) and rhinestone from Uncas.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455081[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty sure this is fake....right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie38" alt=":cyclops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;m not the best with these materials.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]455082[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also assuming the Nouveau and Gibson girls are later than the style of their images would suggest, but not the best with costume stuff yet either. Any insight is always welcome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
