A Crackled Cuckoo

Adding some new jewelry at Age Before Beauty.

I think this beautiful wooden bird must have been part of an old cuckoo clock?

This antique paste piece is slightly domed. 

Absolutely spectacular!

I have never, ever, seen such an exquisitely carved ivory cameo portrait.

How about some spectacular micro-mosaic slippers, so your ears don't feel neglected?

 This eclectic necklace features two of the dearest antique pieces. 

One is a tiny, teeny, cloth coin purse. 

 The other precious trinket is an antique mother of pearl souvenir charm. It's in the shape of a detailed book and I believe once held a picture inside (stanhope).

They both dangle from an old watch chain. The closure is its original 't' and a vintage mother of pearl ring. A very old carved bone bead and a bit of some antique mother of pearl chain.

Perhaps it was part of an old badge.

Or a commemorative button.

Wonderful old architecture...

Now makes lovely neckware, at Age Before Beauty.
