[Jewelry making - Article 00108] - [Orchid] Value of old Roman intaglios?

    Interesting timing. I have been looking for actual Roman intaglios on
    the net for the past few weeks. Had a few lovely examples I was
    bidding on in e-bay, when one bidder ran the price up to over $550 on
    one piece alone. Does anyone know the actual value of old Roman
    intaglios? These were not refined examples in any way. Rather crudely
    cut, but lovely none the less. The auction stated that they were
    between 1000 BC and 300 AD. This is not an area that I have any
    expertise in, so what should ancient intaglios go for? Anyone know?

    planned for tomorrow. Figures.) Topanga, CA USA
