Featured The Keepers from my Mom's costume jewelry

I am keeping 4 pieces from the jewelry I found in my Mom's a desk. One is a small sterling locket with my Mom's initials engraved on it. Initials make things difficult to sell or pass on. The other is a sterling pendant she wore often. Dad gave it to her and it symbolizes her zodiac sign, Aquarius. The other sterling piece is a pendant/brooch made by a local First Nations artist. The modern porcelain pendant is Royal Copenhagen.

 

Lovely!

 

nice...but the Raven is not costume...at least not to me !!!

 

Nor me. I wouldn’t give it away!

 

it's a nice Raven......who's it by....

 

I do t

I don’t know, but the initials on the back are TJH.

 

I love the locket! Lockets are secretive and mysterious.

 

T with a long J then H ....all somewhat thin...??

 

a possible culprit........

Travis Henry........

 

That raven is pretty cool. These may not be the most valuable pieces in dollar terms (or Euros, Pounds etc) but they mean something.

 

Not big initials, but single engraved lines. I think the J extends more than the other 2 initials. Cool if it is Travis Henry!

 

Have you considered getting one of the glass jewelry caskets for these pieces? I think they are too lovely to put into a jewelry box only to see once in a while. The glass case would allow you to see them every day.

This is some of my mother's costume jewelry I inherited in the box she always had on her bureau

 

1950s Italian glass box - perfect.

 

I adore this casket!!

 

Yes, I believe that is the same as on my Mom’s pendant! Thanks for the ID!

 

Ooh, now there’s something I should look for when I can finally go to a thrift or Antique fair!

 

Here is Travis Henry’s website. Cowichan is about 30 minutes from here. It is possible that Mom and Dad got it at Artina’s here in Victoria.
