[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 13120840, member: 5833"]I'm dithering over whether or not to say something to this seller. I don't understand how things like this happen. Seller wants US $1,500.00 for this brooch: [ATTACH=full]559193[/ATTACH] If you were not knowledgeable about cameos, this would probably convince you too that this is a very valuable one: [ATTACH=full]559194[/ATTACH] One of seller's assertions is: "This is a heart stone [it only just occurred to me they mean hard stone] cameo could be an agate or Carnelian . Cameos like this were usually carved in Idar Oberstein Germany," This is almost endearing: "The brand is Cameo, known for producing high-quality and unique jewelry pieces." The bit I don't get is how a painted glass cameo that is probably among the top 5 most reproduced ends up in a gold mount. :confused:[/QUOTE]
