[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 12472983, member: 5833"]Very nice. Obvious art nouveau influence, but styles in cameos tend to lag behind the times. I'd put it to 1920s - 30s. The unusual shape betrays a bit of deco influence. Night & Day probably inspired this duo, who are not representative of anyone or anything in particular as far as I'm aware. The technical term for compositions with 2 overlapping figures is [I]jugate[/I]. (Think [I]conjugal[/I].) Hope you will wear this from time to time. The C catch is not the most secure type, but I see a guard chain. Is it still in working order?[/QUOTE]
