This is a fascinating snake bracelet made of woven hair over a spring coil. The head, tail, and a small heart attached to the head and tail, are gold. Small garnet eyes. The bracelet is really not able to be worn, due to the fragile nature of the woven hair, but is really for a discerning collector of this example of period jewelry.
Condition: Wear on the hair as shown, with losses to two areas of approximately ½ inch.
Size: Expandable. Diameter across the bracelet as seen in the picture, is approximately 2 1/2 inches.

This is a very interesting enamel and gold brooch that is probably Edwardian, C. 1910.
Unusual design - with a central shield, or coat of arms, flanked by what appears to be the sails of two Viking ships. These are incorporated into the overall design of a crown with enameled stones along the base and a half shield at each end. Absolutely beautiful enamel work and marked 15Kt.
Condition: Fine.
Size: Length – 2inches. Height – ½ inch

This is quite a rare buckle ring that is hallmarked with a crown, a lion, the letter P, and a beaver, indicating that it is of early Canadian manufacture. Also marked, June 11, 1881 in script. The buckle unfolds, allowing it to possibly hold a lock of hair. Just under the buckle are the initials MCA. Quite an intricate piece, that could be worn as a ring or hung from a chain.
Condition: Fine.
Size: ring size 4.5

This is a very sweet, wearable brooch.
It is 15 kt gold with ruby eyes, pearl and sapphire wings, and a doublet jewel to look like a large sapphire in the center of the body.
The quality is lovely and it could be worn on delicate or heavier material. Workmanship is exceptional. The piece comes in an old leather covered box, but I am not sure if it is original to the brooch.
Condition: Fine
Size: Width of pin 1 ¼ inches. Width of fly- ¾ inch. Height – 5/8 inch.
