Hi! I haven’t been finding anything good lately, but I inherited this cameo pendent and ring from my aunt. She told me her Russian aunts owned them. Wondered if anyone knows anything about how old they can be. The cameo has the word sterling on it. Thanks

Barbara, really exquisite workmanship in both pieces. A master craftsperson made each. From what I can see, a really fine cameo as well. Using a magnifier, can you find any hallmarks? Really nice inheritance. A guess on age would be early 1900's.

You have a beautiful piece of jewelery.
My great grandmother's photo from 1880 contains a similar cameo. Unfortunately, some addicts broke in grandma's house and swiped it in 1973. Put yours in a safe.

Beautiful pieces, congratulations. The pin and catch on the broach I also see on police and fire badges of the 1920's-1960's. If that helps. Sub 8-)
