Marcasites also surround the outer edges of the blue enamel. Beautifully
made. This pin dates to the late 18th century to early 19th century.

Small and dainty vintage silver ring. The oval shaped stone is a reddish
orange color. Not quite sure what this stone is. Possibly a ceramic stone.
The stone shows wear....almost like holes in the stone. Very pretty flower
design on each side of the stone. The ring is stamped "835" and does have
a hallmark, but it is to small to make out. The ring dates to the 1930s to 1940s.

The purse has no closure device. More of an unstructured fold over type

done in a mustard yellow, baby blue and pale pink. The colors really stand
out on the black beaded background. Has a black fabric lining.

---Some stray strings.

Very small, very dented and well loved antique Victorian locket. I say well loved
because the front and back are very dented. Most likely from a teething baby
chewing on the locket. One side of the locket has a floral engraved design. The
other side also has a decorative engraved design. Both sides have black enamel.
The front and back panels are 9k gold. The frame and bail of the locket are a
plated base metal. Inside the locket are tintypes of a man and woman (under glass).
The locket opens and closes properly. It dates to the 1860s to 1870s.
Being sold as is.
Condition: ---Front and back are very dented. ---Lots of wear to the enamel. ---Wear to overall finish and loss of plating....inside and out. Measurements: 1/2" by 3/4"
