[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 4370181, member: 17467"]Hi again, Now the children are off for holidays, I don’t have to worry about the school runs, and have a little time to share the latest delights I’ve purchased. Moving on to the next saucy cameo of Hermes. I have been told that it’s tortoise shell and ivory on 925 Sterling silver frame not hallmarked. I wonder what are your thought, as I did not stick a hot pin in this one [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] It looks to me as tortoise shell, has few scratches on the back and I think it has a stress line. The carving is fixed into place with two screws, so it looks like. In UV light the tortoise shell shines patchy green on the back, please see photos. The ivory shines white yellowish . What do you think about the age, material and we will wait for [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] to delight us with the depiction of the character. Thank you. Kind regards, Simona Please tag anyone Intrested, keep forgetting the IDs [USER=8708]@KSW[/USER] [USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] [USER=56]@moreotherstuff[/USER] [ATTACH=full]365235[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]365236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]365237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]365238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]365239[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]365240[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
