This is definitely a most interesting and unusual piece. Entitled “The Perpetual Calendar”, it has an enameled leaf design on the front in colors of yellow and green. In the center are the enameled letters C & H. in red and blue. The reverse side shows a calendar with the dates 1 to 31, and a moveable wheel on one side with the days of the week, as well as the words “Made by Samurai”. The piece has tested silver and is very well made. Could be worn as a pendant or a charm. Fascinating.
Condition: Minor enamel loss under magnification, but does not detract from the appearance.
Size: Height to top of ring – 1 ¼ inches. Width – 1 inch.

This is a very nice silver gilt scarf pin in the shape of a twisted snake with small red stone eyes. Very likely a French piece, as it has a small touchmark with looks like an eagle’s head.
There is a small pin on the inside to prevent the pin from sliding off the scarf, and the piece is hinged on one side. Quite striking when worn with a colorful scarf.
Condition: Fine.
Size: Width-1 inch. Depth- 5/8 inch. Snakes head – 5/8 inch.

This is an exceptional quality sterling silver Ram’s head bracelet. Quite heavy with twin ram’s heads with raised horns at either end. Band has an elaborate twisted design to the silver and is marked 925. There are other letters as well, but are difficult to decipher.
Bracelet appears to be solid, and is hinged at the bottom to allow it to slip over the wrist.
Beautiful workmanship, and likely a Victorian piece.
Condition: Fine
Size: Inner circumference - 6.5 inches, but can expand due to the hinge.

This is a beautiful Austro Hungarian silver pendant. Done in high relief showing a cherub riding an eagle with the north wind behind. The eagle is sitting on a semi circular base, which has five bezel set turquoises around the front circumference. There are six pearls suspended from the pendant and the back is decorated with typical Austro Hungarian designs, as well as a touchmark that is difficult to read. A very striking piece.

This is really an exquisite silver and amethyst bracelet done in a wonderful moderne design. The piece has a tongue in groove closing with security chain, and has the eagle, and other Mexican silver marks that appear like a bear claw on the inner circumference. Lovely color to the amethysts and a rich patina to the silver. A very dramatic bracelet.
Condition: Fine.
Size: Interior size about 6 inches. For a fairly small wrist.
