<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9501834, member: 76316&quot;]Dug into Mom&#039;s jewelry an&#039; found several items of perhaps moderate interest. The wishbone, &#039;tho unmarked, is probably gold, based on the fine manner of its (lost wax) making; it&#039;s ~1 1/8&quot; long, ~1/2&quot; wide.</p><p>The pendant may be glass, an&#039; the wee blue&nbsp; bead as well; both go to a dense, opaque near-white under UV light. It&#039;s ~1 3/8&quot; long, ~5/8&quot; wide, ~5/16&quot; thick. I&#039;m pretty sure the ferrule would shine if polished.</p><p>It may be a marriage, as the pendant is hung from an open-ended tongue, which has, however, been forced shut against the back of the pin to capture the loop.</p><p>The first 3 pics were in overcast light; the last 2 in broad sunshine.</p><p>I vaguely recall that wishbones are important symbolically to some folks, or societies...Mom was a lifetime RN. I never saw her wear it. </p><p>If any of you have understanding of this, I&#039;ll be grateful to hear of it; Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449307[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449308[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449309[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]449311[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
