So what are peoples thoughts on this one:

Judging by the subject matter it looks like half a french stereo put in vintage case parts. Also doesn’t look like it has been cleaned but has no tarnish mark around the mat.

Something more genuine but with alas no nudity, is this pinky ring with a hidden daguerreotype in it:

I’ve seen this before somewhere, on ebay france is what looks to be a becquerel dag from the 1890’s or around ww1, or perhaps another process with similar looks:

Yes, it does have that look. Lovely mounting – is that matte etched brass?
