Hello: I purchased what appears to be an Ivory carved cameo, from a flea market in Ventimiglia Italy three years ago. I would like to sell it. Paid 45 Euros for it at a table where an individual who appeared to be African or Indian was the owner. IT is Ivory, which is yellowing both on the front and reverse side. It has a carving that appears to have an orietal flavor, four figures wearing what looks like robes, but one is seated, beneath a carved out overhead hanging for shade. The carving has openings, (chipped out for depth look) and there is a theme around a tree that has roots revealed and leaves and flowers from bottom to top of the ivory. It is 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 inches in length, about 1-1/4 width, surrounded by what appears to be orange gold, hammered all around the edge of the ivory, and topped with a scrolling gold design, appears like beads, but it is gold scrolled work. It has a pin on the back, in good shape, tip clips beneath a C shaped clasp, and there i s a chain measureing about 2-1/2 inches long with a tiny safety pin at the end of it, which measures less then an inch in length. I would like to sell this. As I said, I believe this purchase was made in Europe, but I’ve other brooches and I’m not absolutely certain about the location of purchase. Do you know of any ivory orient-flavored cameos? I have searched for two days on E-bay and Internet sites for cameos, in Asian, Japanese, Chinese, and Antique-Vintage asian cameos without success.
Thank you. Geri Biscardi

I was just given an old necklace that belonged to my grandmother. It is a string of artificial pearls with a silver pendant worked into the string. Inside the box lid, it has a gold crown with the words Navarre Indestructible Pearls. Can you tell me anything about the company and the approximate age of the necklace? Thanks.
