What a wonderful collection! Your locket and bow are lovely.
This thread made me go and dig up some of my antique silver jewelry I collected in high school.
Also two rings I bought new waaaay back in high school. I know I have more somewhere...
It was brought back from a buying trip by a lady who had a antique shop in my high school town, I believe it is an Indian temple anklet and either .800 or .925 silver, though these weren't regularly marked/stamped. It is somewhat similar to what Moroccan belly dancers use. It is a popular design even now as it is a stamp and roll method that is easy to reproduce.

I do know that it was one of the more simple and common designs. She had some extremely ornate, heavy, beautiful pieces but they weren't practical for a teen. I used to wear it as a necklace(with a little leather extender) The bigger types can almost look like yokes on your feet/wrists and ears. I was 15 when I bought it back in the early nineties! I can't give an exact estimate, though this one is probably the 'youngest'. The bracelet and other necklace were @60+yrs in the nineties...that was the information she gave me at the time. Most of what she sold was out of my league
* also, she added the ends to the other necklace- I didn't find out until years later that you shouldn't actually do that, it devalues the piece a bit (not that they're worth that much to begin with). The solid ones are where the $$$ is.
Thankyou for that info. The one I have is tiny compared to yours. Never fit around my chunky ankles - lol
