I was talking with my 98 year old Mom yesterday and she showed mt the cameo in the pictures. I had no idea it even existed. She said it was her Mom's. Now, that lady came over here in the teens of last century from Central Europe. Lord knows where she got this from, I don't think that they had the loot for fripperies (<--great word) but who knows.
The height (overall) is 2.5, width is 2". The only mark I can see is "14/" on the clasp.
I'd like to report back with an idea of what it's value is. Can you help with that and any insights as to what it is. I will say that the lady looks like a bit of a flapper, didn't they call that hair doo a Marcel or something? I have seen something like the design on the "halo" around her head. It resembles the Belgian proof mark that if found on weapons. The setting is quite delicate and attractive.
Thank you.
