My Jewel Box: Leave It to Beaver

DSCF2161

When your place of work buys gold and old jewelry on a daily basis, it is both good and bad for a person like me. Well, mostly good … but bad because I like everything I see.  I’ve learned to be more discriminating as to what goes into my jewelry box and becomes mine.  When this little guy came through, I had to bring him home with me. The beaver is made out of ivory with scrimshaw markings.  The bracelet is most likely Victorian, in 10k gold with handmade links and interesting clasp.
