Treasure Chest Thursday

As promised a few weeks ago.   Today's treasure is an item from Grandma's jewelry box.

There are two of this item that are very similar, and I found out why.   There was a time that my grandmother's brother, Charles Anderson, was making jewelry - beaded necklaces to be exact.   So today's treasure is two-fold; they belonged to my Grandma and they were made by my Uncle.

    Thanks for this! It brought back memories of when I used to make similar jewelry. I, of course, gave everything I made away and have nothing left.

    The top necklace reminds me of something I must have seen in my grandmother's or mother's jewelry box and I'm trying to remember what it was. Neat story!

    Very pretty - and all the more precious because you know who made them :-)
