<p>[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 699191, member: 4864"]I'm mystified by these two items. I bought a mismatched pair of the niello cufflink-like buttons, but I don't think they're actual cufflinks, since they have a solid back. They're slightly larger than a quarter, and I think the hallmarks are French. I'd think that the pendant is newer, but what makes it unusual is that it's actually a locket on the back. I don't think it's silver. Perhaps rhodium plated. It's very strange; it doesn't make sense for it to be a locket, since the back of the picture would show through the gaps in the filigree.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]187031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187032[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187034[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
