This is a scatter pin made from 19th Century United States silver coins. I originally had a pair of these Victorian LOVE TOKENS, but just sold one of them. The coin is a Liberty capped bust half-dime from 1835. One side of the coin has been ground flat and engraved with the initials PBJ (or maybe PBI – the script is quite fancy and the third letter is ambiguous). The pin is gold-filled and dates from the late 19th century, with a C-clasp and tubular hinge. Excellent condition...

This is a gorgeous bracelet. The metal appears to be silver, but is not marked, and has a wonderful lustrous patina. The amethyst and quartz colored stone is charoite, I believe. Charoite is a quartz-like mineral discovered near the River Chara in Eastern Siberia in 1978. The stone is hand set and the setting is hand chased.
The bracelet is about 7 1/2 inches inside. The stone is about 1 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch in size. Excellent condition.

This is a beautifully made early 20th century silver bracelet with triangular art glass pyramids in each link. Probably Mexican but the hallmark was lost with the clasp. The links are hollow with a flat back and the glass is attached above four balls. The art glass pyramids are an alluring mix of bright green, reddish brown and white. The six links measure about 1 inch x 3/4 inch and are connected to each other by short hand made links. Overall length of the bracelet is about 7 1/4 inches.
