A Collection of 20th Century Silver and Agate Jewelry - A collection of silver jewelry featuring traditional Scottish motifs and Dutch coinage. The group includes a bracelet composed of scalloped, banded agate plaques alternating with bezel-set faceted amber-colored stones. A second bracelet is constructed from linked Dutch 25-cent coins dated 1941. The assembly is completed by two circular openwork belt or scarf slides, a dirk-form pin, and two cabochon-set brooches. The agate bracelet clasp bears an impressed shield-shaped mark containing the letters WBS for Ward Brothers, along with a separate impressed letter P. The coins feature the impressed inscriptions 25 CENTS, 1941, and KONINGIN. The belt slides exhibit openwork decoration including thistles, hearts, and interlace knotwork. No other maker marks or hallmarks are visible on the remaining pieces.
