Featured Pendant set with Cameo- help w/marks

Hello again everyone,


I bought this necklace as I rather liked the cut-out cameo affixed on it.


I am asking your collective knowledge if you know what the “LF” means? The marks look like LF 12K GF. I get that it’s gold fill but the LF I couldn’t find online.


Rather a shame the cameo wasn’t set on a nicer piece. It’s pretty enough that I believe it would have been eye catching on it’s own instead of a heavy setting.

Lastly, any clue who this is depicting? It looks like she has a comb in her hair.

She's quite nice, salvaged from a helmet shell cameo. Psyche:

Butterfly wing here I thought it was a comb.

 

My hypothesis is that later ones from the 30s of a pretty lady with an ornamental comb in her hair derive from Psyche. You sort of see the wing move farther & father back on the head over time.

 

Maybe nothing to do with the LF but I found this old listing in WorthPoint selling something marked that way from L'Fonts Ltd. -- Maybe the LF stands for L'Fonts? Just a thought. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-fonts-ltd-designer-12k-gf-401214928

 

Yes, sure seems like L’Fonts Ltd did a lot of gold fill piece costume jewelry. I’m trying to find more info on the company with no success. Just lots of pieces of their vintage jewelry.

Thank you so much for the tip.
