<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 11332398, member: 51"]Follow-up. Just as an experiment tried soaking these in water. No success. Then DH said try, "acetone". Since we didn't care about the cameos I said to try it. No success. Finally just cut the metal, it came off nicely. It sold more or less instantly on Ebay and I included the cameos for the buyer. It's the first time I had to disassemble gold. Usually I'm selling intact. Since damaged made the decision easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]541268[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>After:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]541267[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
