Description
This item was passed on to me. I had never seen it before. It is a cameo pendant. Fancy gold tone setting. The cameo is resting on a thick black base. The cameo carving itself is a white/ligtest creme color. It is raised toward the middle like a 3-D effect. I do not know what it is made out of or if it was reset. Any information would be welcome. Thank you

At the top of the Women's head where the black surface meets, there are three small indentations.

I beleive this is a piece of 1950-60's costume piece made from molded plastic....to check if it is plastic, take a hot needle and on the back press the tip into the black substance....if it leaves a mark and "melts" it is molded plastic. Most cameo's in black sell for less than their colored counterparts, but your's is pretty. It would sell for less than $25.00 if plastic.
