I think that it's made of rose gold ( not sure ) it has been put away for more than 60 yrs. I was told that it is from the 30's or 40's at any rate it would make a fine addition to anyone's collection !!! Thank you for reading, all Listia rules apply etc.

Thank you,

I'm really sorry I wasn't trying to advertise or take away from your auction.

Feb 15th, 2015 at 5:51:09 PM PST by

I understand completely. If you look on my page you would see a plastic or celluloid cameo. They are actually really nice. Good luck maybe I can end up with this beautiful piece.

Feb 15th, 2015 at 4:19:08 PM PST by

I will take a look at your page and check it out. Thanks !

Feb 15th, 2015 at 4:33:16 PM PST by

No I didn't mean for you to think I was saying yours was.

Feb 15th, 2015 at 3:08:50 PM PST by

I just didn't want anyone to think that I would list it with a plastic setting, because I would just have listed something else ! Thank you again ! You are a very nice person.

Feb 15th, 2015 at 3:47:15 PM PST by

they actually did have a form of plastic back then. Several types as a matter of fact. I knew you would do well with this.

Feb 15th, 2015 at 2:24:21 PM PST by

Oh well it doesn't look or feel like plastic. I do think that it is ivory. Thank you for your help and for watching !

Feb 15th, 2015 at 3:01:12 PM PST by

Feb 15th, 2015 at 12:51:21 PM PST by

No it's bone or ivory. It is to old to be plastic. Thank you for asking and looking !

They have one similar to this at a pawn shop for $199 but it was for sure gold!! So if it is gold its worth a bit of money!!

Wow ! This is the only one I have, so I guess someone will be very happy !! Thank you for the information and comment !!

Feb 7th, 2015 at 7:22:06 PM PST by

Beautiful! Still building points. Wish I could bid on this!

Feb 14th, 2015 at 3:13:24 PM PST by

Thank you, getting credits is a lot of work. Good Luck !!!

Feb 14th, 2015 at 3:44:37 PM PST by

I believe the cameo piece is actually a mid-19th century single earring that was converted to a hatpin. It looks like hardstone, and the style is more 1850s-1870s. Many heirloom pieces like this were held onto and converted into more useful and modern pieces, like hatpins, which came into vogue more into the 1900s-1930s. It is likely solid rose gold, probably 10K, with a hardstone (agate) cameo, and pin attached to top of broken earring wire.

Thank you, Any information about it is welcome. And it very well may be ? I wonder if there is a mate to it somewhere ? Well if it is they did a good job on it. Thanks again and keep an eye out I have more antiques coming !
