Also featured is an oval millefiori glass mosaic brooch, bezel-set within a silver-coloured rope-twist frame, and a small butter-style knife with a polished green hardstone handle, possibly nephrite jade. The jewellery and personal adornments include a white-metal signet ring set with an unidentified dark stone, a filigree-style cloak or sweater clip, a small decorative seal or fob featuring a carnelian-type stone cap, a heart-shaped pendant with an attached chain, and an open heart charm.
