VICTORIAN ERA HANDKERCHIEF HOLDER
Transcript
Take a guess. What do you think this piece of nineteenth century jewelry was used for? This piece features a 10 karat gold band, an 18 karat gold chain, and a 14 karat gold clamp with decorative black enamel. The answer? This is a Victorian era handkerchief holder where a woman would wear the ring on her finger with a hanky clamped securely on the other end to avoid losing it. This left them hands free for activities like dancing at parties.
