Vulcanite Necklace and How To Wear it!

1) Victorian love bird carrying two hearts to a beloved.

2) Georgian sepia on ivory pendant of two lovebirds tying a lover’s knot. This was most likely a betrothal or wedding pendant as it signifies “tying the knot.”

Two Byzantine Bracelets of gold, silver, amethyst, sapphire, glass and emerald plasma (whatever that is. Hey- don’t blame me. It’s the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s description!) These were probably made in Constantinople in 500-700 and they belong around my wrists!
