looks like an artifact from planet of the apes :lol:

Could any one please enlighten me on as to what this is.
It's hard as steel
Not magnetic
Non marking.

Nice cameo as noted,... looks like 'milk-glass' over 'plated' (?) substrate....

Per Wikipedia;

"How a cameo is made?
Cameos are commonly made out of shell, coral, stone (Agate), lava, or glass. These carvings are set in either gold or silver. Cheaper costume jewelry cameos exist, and these are set in a base metal and made out of a molded plastic, glass, or resin. These are not hand carved and are not worth a lot of money."....

Might be the pic 'light' but it looks gilded, so it may be high end costume, as it doesn't mention 'gilded' items in the above...a further look on UK sites may provide more info..

Still a nice find regardless, and you must have been thrilled to reveal it once more. :Y:

Is the cuff-link gilded or have markings please?...

Gypsy

Sorry there Gypsy the cuff link is only a cheapy I think no markings on it and YES I was very happy when the broach came to light

N8ice hunt there Roy, that cufflink looks really nice. The brooch is a great find too. :Y:
