    Sadly the hair locket is missing one side but would I be right in thinking it's late 19thC?
    Presuming the other one is bone?. I can't identify the flower but would this be a similar date?. Both British?. Both are around 2 inches tall. No marks to be found.
    Thanks for looking :)

    I am just going to say that I am glad they were not the same item...when I read hair and bone, I was thinking that went a little too far...BWDIK!;)

    My gut instinct is Continental on the bone piece. Maybe Germany/Austria somewhere? It feels straight out of the Alps. The hair locket...British would be my guess too. Beyond that, no idea.

    Fob, rather than a locket. Bright cut, so I'd think mid to late 19th. I agree on the other, it looks Swiss or Austrian to me. Long dead edelweiss.

    I think Swiss for the bone pendant. And agree late 19th for the other pendant, that is when these watch like lockets were fashionable. They were often worn like women's watches, on long watch/guard chains. Sometimes even on short watch chains.
