<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gus Tuason, post: 517626, member: 10012&quot;]The 750 mark means 750 parts gold per 1000 parts or 75% gold or 18 karat gold. Pretty definite that the brooch, earrings, and ring are shell cameos. The rose pendant maybe angel skin corral or possibly white jade. There is quite a bit of difference in hardness between the two and the coral should scratch easily. If jade, it might possibly be of chinese origin. If real jade, not jadite or nephrite, it will be very hard to scratch. If you scratch test it, make sure you do it in place that is pretty much out of sight. I agree that the shell cameos probably date to the 50&#039;s. I don&#039;t think the prissy little girl cameo came in until the 30&#039;s but I know that it was prevalent in the 50&#039;s and later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
