<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 755725, member: 5833&quot;]Tough one to call.&nbsp; If gold content really is enough to measure, it would have melt down value, of course.&nbsp; The mount is quite a pretty, well-made one, probably early 20th century.&nbsp; There might be interest in the mount, to be used for another piece close in size.&nbsp; However, this bezel has been custom fit to the curves of this particular segment of shell, limiting its usefulness for some other piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The cameo is helmet shell, competently carved, featuring a somewhat ambiguous classical figure.&nbsp; If it were just another pretty lady of indifferent quality I would not hesitate to say the value is only in the mount.&nbsp; You found it interesting &amp; attractive; so might someone else.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the through &amp; through crack is serious &amp; quality of the cameo is not sufficient to offset it.&nbsp; We could ask [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] if she has any thoughts on how it could be made less conspicuous.</p><p><br /></p><p>If question is really can you make any money reselling it, depends on what you paid.&nbsp; You would need to verify gold fineness.&nbsp; Does seller take returns?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
