    This has had old, not great repair so I think it was loved. Should it be undo and rerpaired or just left as is. Is there any special meaning? BF50DD85-3F62-467C-963D-150DD4619BE1.jpeg A89ED17D-BE43-469E-9E1F-B303BB8839A3.jpeg 0B3F9F29-4C7E-4240-B84F-0CD0F551E150.jpeg

    A nice little late 19th sentimental piece. The snake swallowing its tail is eternity, from memory. Turquoise is luck. Ruby is passion. I bet it's missing a pearl for true love.

    I'd leave it, too. I've always loved the Victorian meaning behind both jewellery and flowers.

    Thank you so much.. it really is special!
    Would a small pearl look odd if set on the repair?

    Wonderful that someone loved it enough to repair it. The repair looks like a kiss on the back :)

    I like that repair a lot. And a wee pearl would look lovely, it's what I had in my head.

    A pearl would definitely work there.

    The turquise is probably Persian, btw.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    What a sweet thing... the repair looks sturdy, at least. :)
