The other cameo brooch has four sections to the edge which look to have broken off completely and have been attached back together, it has a closed back seemingly to hide the 'putty' behind the cameo holding the broken pieces in place, there's areas of tarnishing to the mount and a possible replacement pin. The agate brooch would benefit from a clean and has areas of tarnishing to the mount, with a solder join becoming visible, with very minor abrasion tot he edge of the stone.
