You should Keep them if I had them I would
I agree with TeresaD.
They are lovely. Keep the ones you wear and sell the rest before the price of metals goes down.
Possibly a bit late comment; I suppose they are set in either silver or gold.If so, search for the marks and show them to us if possible (it is,actually with a new post as ``marks on rings`` - good close-ups).That would help to tell the period;as far as I can see some of cameos look old, but it does not mean they are carved in Ancient Rome.Even if e.g.Victorian they are valuable enough.Having reviewed the way they are set it is too obvious cameos were not set later;therefore,the marks will tell us when they are carved.Even Ancient Rome cameos are set in rings during 19th century, but there are few experts to confirm that.Cameos are widely carved today. In a word, marks on silver and gold will tell the period 100%.
