[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 13224916, member: 5833"]This began already quite some time ago. Nowadays I'm seeing auction lots of 20 - 30 unset cameos, usually most of them no great loss to the world, but here & there will be a good piece that may never be in wearable condition again. The price of gold is completely distorting the market; now it's more about settings than quality of carving: a gold mount with a cameo instead of a cameo in a gold mount.[/QUOTE]
