I don't have time to do full individual listings on this very large and exceptional lot, and you would get tired of reading if I did! T are 55 pieces in all (I have counted each earring pair as 1 item). A few are set in jewelers metal, but most are set in sterling, solid gold, gold fill, or rolled gold plate, and several are also set with marcasites or pearls. All of these are genuine shell cameos but one, and it is stone. These are higher end cameos, very vintage to more recent vintage to modern (late 1800s right up through today). Many pink shell cameos, some unset that I had planned to take those and have them made into one large sterling necklace. Only 2 pieces have damaged mountings, 4 have missing stones, the rest are in excellent condition, and all of the shell cameos are undamaged. T are pins, rings, earrings, pin/pendants (folding bails), pendant necklaces, bracelets, and even a wrist watch. T are 2 solid gold rings in this lot, one with the orginal box, and the cameo needs reset, but is t The other ring does not have a cameo that goes with it, but t are several unset cameos in this lot, I am sure t must be one that will fit it. All earrings are clip or screw back, because I do not have pierced ears. T are a couple of matching pendant/earring sets as well. Just try to find vintage pink shell cameos in a bracelet, pin, and earring set. They are in this lot. This photos do not do these pieces justice, they are really beautiful. I have only done close up photos on some of higher quality pieces so you can understand the value of this lot, but did take pictures of everything that is included. These vary in size from nearly 3" tall down to 1/4". Sorry about the lighting, we have a serious lack of effective lighting equipment for small items that get washed out by a flash. Please feel free to ask questions about any piece, and I will provide a close up of any cameo you want. Whether you are a collector yourself or plan to resale this lot individually, you can't get hurt even at this price. It averages about $16 per cameo or earring pair, and t are half a dozen cameos in this lot that would very nearly repay your investment. It is hard to part with these, as this is nearly my entire personal collections of cameos, which I spent years obtaining. However, we recently rescued a horse that is going to need a lot of vet care and quality food. T comes a time when things become just things, and we really must put the needs of this sweet horse first. Please feel free to make a reasonable offer on this lot. Thank you for spending time at one of my auctions .
To clarify a bit on the 6 pieces with flaws: The photo that is abit fuzzy (sorry about that) shows these items. The two rings had the stones comeout. One ring still has the stone and can be reset (the one in the box), the other can be replaced with one of the loose cameos from this lot. The pin on the next row on the left looks to be missing a tiny piece of v-shaped decoration on the mounting surface on the right hand side. The pin in the middle of that row had a row of seed beads around the cameo, and they have come off, they are lying under the pin in the photo. The pin on the right in that same row has a mounting that is just generally very worn, somewhat bent, and the seed beads finish is gone. The bottom row shows a pendant with broken bail, the necklace next to it is missing 4 stones, probably those were pearls. That's it, all other pieces in this lot are in great wearable condition, most near perfect, and the 6 with flaws are easily repaired. Hi, will the person who e-mailed me with the offer of $675 please run the offer through the listing? Or, if anyone else would like to match that offer, I am willing to accept that amount.
