    Ancient Jewelry is worth what someone is willing to pay. The only
    answer is to try and review past auction prices (not Ebay but
    legitimate auction houses) I bought over a dozen cameos blood
    carnielian set from the sale of the jewelry pieces from the San
    Francisco Gem Museum. They look like they were taken from a headpiece
    circlet or crown. There are also 3 included that show the progression
    of carving. I believe they are the senators and their wives I am
    still researching. 

    To me they are priceless to the seller on ebay they were worth $50
    as that is what it ended at to my disbelief. Sometimes people don't
    know what they have and it slips by collectors too. 

    Use your best judgement remember all things apply as in condition
    condition condition. Good luck hunting.

    P.S. if I had a nickle for every intaglio listed as a cameo I would
    be rich
