    Phone this cameo in my mum's jewelry box when she passed away. I know she's had it for a long time. There is a writing on the back. I don't know if it's a date or what anybody have. Any idea the time frame?

      1950s, with some latitude either side.

      Perfect, thank you. Now just for future reference, how can you tell?

      Possibly earlier...see fig 8. You will have to compare several parts that we can't see the detail to..

      The motif of a woman with a flower in her hair this way appeared in the 1930s & has never gone away entirely. The execution of this one, with the little pointed nose, puts your cameo forward in time & the hinge & clasp say mid-century.

      So as you stated around the 50s you assume?
