[QUOTE="Joan, post: 10451677, member: 5398"]Thank you so much, Mirana, for answering all of my questions with such detailed and helpful information.

I'm not familiar with the term "archeological revival" jewelry, so am glad to add that to my vocabulary. I collect mainly 20th century costume jewelry, but do have some older pieces. After looking at Google images of archeological revival jewelry, I think I may have a few pieces. I looked online for cameos and other images of Adonis, and couldn't find many.
