[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 11291557, member: 5833"]I honestly can't imagine interest in them except for the melt value. Not enough for someone to buy them with a view to having the missing petal replaced, just too costly now. I tried to get a sense of what the weight of the cameos alone would be. Looking over the cameos I can lay my hands on readily, found an unset one that is probably about the same size as your 2 together & weighed it: 2.6g. If anything, it is probably a little heavier than the total weight of yours, which I'm guessing are very thin. I suspect scrap gold buyers think they're pretty good at estimating how much gold/non-gold an item contains if you give them measurements & weight. Give 'em the facts you know & let them make the calculation. At the moment, the melt value of 2.2 grams of 18K gold is over $200.[/QUOTE]
