E. I agree - if you could post a pix or two it would be super helpful. I love "old" stuff and have several oddities for the same reason. ♥️

A jeweler would be able to help you determine the composition. I would "guess" it would be in conjunction with a club of some sort. Oddfellows was 3 rings, Rebeccah's (sp?) was a shield, etc. I don't know what organization used the hand-shake but that might be a basis for a google search. Or if you know the club that the family member was a part of. I would use it to adorn a lamp shade or around a vase or some such thing so it would be used and admired. 😍

Free Mason's I believe have a handshake.
The crown and lion head's makes me think of England for some reason
The ribbons on the bottom could be for important dates
Is it silver or silver plate?
Do you know?

Now I've got nuth'n.

Those things were to my family not only my mother and father
And those were some of my family stuff.
One old Aunt asked me if I wanted it

And I said yes.
My sister got a lot of all kind of things too

PS I am the kind of person that when someone give me something
I just cannot rid of it...I guess its sentimental :confused:

The bracelet reminds me of mastodon ivory but it could be polished bone it is hard to tell with just a photo.

Look for stamps on the back, of the necklace. These might indicate the manufacturer or a silver grade. There are tons of organizations that use shaking hands logos. Often they are used with international, or other, partnerships. The lion and crown indicate, to me, some association with the English royalty, that might include Canada. Is there a motto on the ribbon? Are those bumps along the chain and crown or is something inset?

Either of those might have been picked up on a trip or they might be gifts from someone on a trip. They might also have been inherited and passed down, just like you got it. If the second bracelet is from England the necklace might be as well.

This reminds me of art deco type jewelry maybe from the 1920s-30s, but I honestly don’t know what era. I have a couple of pieces from one of my grandmothers, just costume jewelry.
