Antique Olmsted Jewelry

Remember I was telling you about this? Well, guess what I had the luxury of photographing today. 150 year old family heirloom jewelry, that is normally 'safely' locked away, but that was allowed to come out and play in the sunshine for an hour. Brooch, bracelet & ring. I am even more excited because the secrets of the past are revealing themselves to me in the most intriguing ways. I did not see the engraving until I uploaded the shots to my laptop. I didn't know it came from the Olmsted's. Much of the surname spelling in our family tree was different. On documents, legal papers, letters and other items. Spelling mistakes. 3 different Olmsted's. Sometimes with an 'A', sometimes not. etc. I am digging deeper into the past and these discoveries have cast a spell on me. Aren't they lovely. More antique/vintage jewelry to come this week. If you click to enlarge the bottom photo, you'll see the engraving.
