[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1855862, member: 2844"]You kept us waiting.... I knew you could say more about the cameo!:D It didn't strike me as a flapper bob, but I am no expert on bobs. I even wondered if the girl was actually a boy.:shame: That bring us to something that has bothered me from the start: It doesn't sit well in the bezel, and I have never seen a cameo in this folksy style German jewellery before. So my guess is it is a replacement, whatever its age. I imagine the original 'stone' could have been a nice piece of faceted glass, either German or Bohemian. Red and green are traditional German folk jewellery glass colours, but it could have strayed from tradition to a daring purple or something else.;) [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_2085-jpg.242307/[/IMG][/QUOTE]
