    Hi all,

    I purchased a grouping of items from an estate sale and these were included in the bunch. I've never seen anything like them. Appear to be bird 'charms' and likely they were once linked together in a necklace or bracelet. Metal appears to be bronze or brass and the center stone appears to be quartz.

    Does anyone know what part of the world these might be from? image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    With those backs, I suspect Chinese export. Lovely.

    Hm. I'm inclined to swallows or swifts with that forked tail.

    Maybe amethysts set in them?

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

    The look modern-ish, and possibly Asian export, as Owned said. I love them!
