Needy tonight , please help. CAMEO LOT

Hi Everyone!

I got these cameos today. My friend gave them to me and I have no clue what they are. All I know was that the the casings were 14-18k gold and were removed because she needed the money . The stones on two of them tested as diamonds.

Can someone help with this ? TIA

#3 looks extremely new to me, her pert nose is definitely 20th/21st century and the edge not being carved away look very modern. Look at her with a loupe, does it look kind of fuzzy?

Here is a wonderful site for researching cameos:

I think they did #3 in agate or sardonyx Could also be glass

@gauntlettgems I thought that too but because this was framed in 18 kt I thought glass would not have been chosen for this piece

Thanks for new images.

Is it possible that is an air bubble top left edge on the back?

She's the newest of the bunch, laser-carved in a factory probably. They make a lot of them. Some of these are really nice carving, but I don't see any crazy money valuable ones in there.

I thought #3 was maybe a purple glass agate. A good closeup would help.

This is a purple one I found on eBay. Unsure of material, possibly acrylic?

I did a quick Google search "Blue Cameo" and there were a lot of results that were very similar.

If this is a Hardstone (Agate) piece it would be colder against the cheek than glass or resin.

Not sure what #3 is made of. When first looking at your beautiful cameos, I thought #3 was made from some type of stone. Maybe a closer at that piece would help those in more of the know help id the material.

Lovely pieces.
