Filigree is so amazing when you consider every little piece is hand formed with tweezers and pieces together one at a time. Watching!

I have a card case like that, it's sterling, I wondered where it was from, mine was in my family, and they were in The Dutch East Indies Trade , way back. I thought maybe spain, because they do a lot of filagree, but could also bee Russian, I don't know.Mine is too small to be for cigarettes , but maybe calling cards. I haven't seen many like it , but this is made the same way! Lovely!!

I have had filigree pieces in the past.. but never a purse that opens as a pendant. I am not sure where this is from since it isn't marked anywhere that I can see.. I just got it because I thought it was unique

How exactly does the latch work? Does it actually snap closed?

Oct 15th, 2013 at 4:46:14 AM PDT by

if you look at the picture of it open you will notice there is a loop on the inside of the lid of the purse, that loop is what makes it close by sliding inside if that makes sense.. there isn't a snap.. it shuts securely and stays shuts very nicely.. its really cool that whoever hand made this figured out how to use the loop to have it close securely

i had this very same necklace when i was a teenager, but it had a chain with large links.. I loved it. I gave it to my best friend some years ago. I believe it was made in the 1970s.

that is so cool! I only got the purse itself... wish I could have seen it with the original chain!

Oct 16th, 2013 at 11:27:47 AM PDT by

oops i meant to say that i wore it with a piece of cloth in it with a drop or two of essential oil or perfume. (your body heat helps disperse the scent.)

I had thought that would be a good idea.. or the prayer/wish idea some people do now.. write a prayer or wish on a piece of paper and put in it. Thank you so much for visiting my auction!!

Hey girl. I love this piece! I have a thiinnngg for tiny purses.
How ya been anyway? I just got back from the big B.R. to visit my youngest great-grand-baby. He is six months old and I had never seen him in person. I got to tell you, he is fantastic. L.O.L.
Good to talk to you again, since I haven't had access to my computer since last week. God bless & happy bidding, Gayle Coco.
