Antique Charm Bracelet
The original charm bracelets date back to ancient Egypt, where charms were worn as protective shields, signs of status, and identification tags. Charms were also popular with the citizens of the Roman Empire and on into the Middle Ages, but it was not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that charm bracelets were worn as decorative jewelry. During Queen Victoria’s reign, bracelets featuring small lockets, family crests, and glass beads became common.Antique charm bracelets are rising in popularity today because of the history associated with the jewelry.
*Note researching this awesome Victorian charm bracelet purchased on OnlineAuction.com. I found this picture of how they were originally sold, it looks like they cost 1cent! Wow! amazing.

Old Things
I like old things that time has tried And proven strong and good and fine; Rose-petal softness of old sheets; Old pottery of quaint design; Old trees that stand against the wind, However gnarled their branches are, Symbolic of a soul grown strong, Communing years with storm and star; Old houses marked by hours Of love and living through the years, That proudly bear their stamp of worth In spite of strife and stress and tears; Old faces time has etched with lines Of love and laughter, sorrow, too. I like old things — they have a depth Unknown by anything that’s new. Cora Mae Preble

Bag was missing the strap, I love this idea; I used a Miriam Haskell belt chain for the purse strap. 🙂

“Edwardian jewelry which is circa 1901 to 1910. Edward was Victoria’s son and reigned
for a short time so the jewelry from that era is quite collectible.” sassyclassics.com
Brooch I photographed I believe is called an Edwardian Star Burst Brooch. I am trying to piece together photographs and items I see to the appropriate era. Forgive me if I make mistakes! 🙂
“Castle on the Hill” Shelton house built in 1876. Mysterious, enchanting story I am fascinated by. I love the Queen Ann architecture of the home. I think I will take a walk there today, amazing incense cedars surrounding the property. If you come to Eugene take a bit of time and go see it. Lovely!
Mourning jewelry is jewelry traditionally worn when someone was in mourning. During the 16th through 18th century memento mori jewelry was popular for mourning and it became even more popular after the death of Prince Albert. Queen Victoria remained in mourning until her passing in 1901, causing a revival of this type of jewelry. During the latter half of the 19th century they were of sombre design and black is the main used color. Materials used are typically black enamel, jet, onyx, human hair, glass, vulcanite and gutta-percha. please go to langantiques.com
