Antique Art Deco Intaglio Cut Glass Goddess Cameo Brooch Gilded Brass Setting

Description: Lot eBay 104-2. It has been a beautiful summer here on the Oregon coast, with the Pacific Ocean as the back-drop to a very relaxed style of living. A little cooler than normal, but it has been hotter than normal just about everywhere else. So, let's take a look at some "cool" new listings that would compliment any summer wardrobe. I wish I could keep all of my favorite cameos, especially the antique cameos in all of their different varied design techniques. This brooch features a gilded brass Art Deco period frame, with an early version of the modern clasp. The cameo is formed with an intaglio or reverse cut design so the cameo face is either impressed or poured glass, covered with fine (gold)gilding, so when you see it from the front, it appears to be a raised figure. Around the edges of the cameo, a different treatment was used to form a slightly different silvery outline for the cameo. It is dome shaped on the front. The frame is an Art Deco period gilded brass setting. The clasp is an early version of the modern style clasp, but as you can see from the photos, it appears heavier, and it is still very functional. The outside measurement of the oval brooch is 2 1/4 inches tall by 1 3/4 inches wide--this is a must buy for the serious cameo brooch collector, as well as adding to your collection, you would add to your jewelry wardrobe, Just remember to not put it in the washing machine or get the reverse side of the cameo wet, as the finish can be damaged. See photos and study them well before you decide to buy--the brooch is returnable, but if the cameo is damaged in any way, the return will not be accepted, and a refund will not be possible. A very lovely piece of antique jewelry! All items, upon sale, are individually wrapped, packaged securely to avoid damage during shipping, then shipped via USPS First Class mail. Insurance is included in the shipping and handling fees. We appreciate it if you pay within two days after the auctions' end, and we will ship your item within two business days of receiving payment. We do offer returns, and we want to hear from you if there is a problem with your order. We want to keep our customers happy with their orders, so we work hard to resolve any issue that arises. Happy bidding, and if you check out our other items on ebay, you may just find something else you cannot live without! In that case, you are in luck, as we offer combined shipping on all multiple purchases. The post office has just increased rates on shipping for small packages, for me, which is mostly all I ship. The rate has gone up about 50 cents per package; I try to keep my rates down and my prices low, but I am going to start charging shipping on my items again--I have cut the rates for shipping down about 50% of what I used to charge--I will now be paying for the insurance, if necessary, and the packaging, and my customer will pay the actual postage cost. I will still have free shipping on many items--it will depend on whether I can make any profit on the item--if I get items at a low price, I usually pass the savings on to my customers with free shipping, and my lower prices. All vintage items will sustain a normal amount of wear, due to the passage of time--even an unused item can age due to factors such as temperature, humidity, and handling. Items listed as in great to excellent vintage condition will not necessarily look like new, and unless I state that an item is in pristine or mint condition, you will expect to see some indication that an item is not new. If I can tell that a repair has been made, I will tell you in the listing. Do not expect complete perfection unless that is expressly stated. Also, if you are bidding or planning to bid on more than one item to take advantage of the great savings in shipping costs, you will need to contact me to let me know. I am happy to combine shipping separate lots, but I am not a mind reader, nor is it easy to tell, unless the bidding is ended, whether a buyer is involved in more than one bid, unless they are winning. I will allow a limit of up to 14 days as a cutoff for combining lots, to help you save money on shipping charges as well as to help me save money on packaging and materials. I am striving towards a goal of excellence in customer service, and I just ask that you help me make that possible. I will do my best.
