Truly unusual 18th century reliquary pendant, featuring two watercolor miniatures, mounted in a silver frame set with colorful paste stones. On the front a portrait of a saint; on the reverse, a wonderful painting of what appear to be a fingertip, flanked by two children (or monks?) and surrounded by stars and flowers! I wish I knew what it all meant. Good condition; some wear to the paintings; frame is in excellent shape. Measures 1 5/8” by 1 1/8”.

Charming Victorian silver brooch depicting bird's nest with four eggs resting on a branch surrounded by ivy. Ivy often symbolizes undying affection; the eggs in the nest may indicate that this was a gift of love, possibly for a mother. The brooch is fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1905; the maker’s mark is “J.H.” Measures 1 ½” by 1”. Condition is good; the back is a bit dinged. Clasp is probably an old replacement; two tiny pinholes from the original clasp are barely visible.
