19th century, Africa
A very chic piece for a man or woman. The stone is a dark green and is so smooth you won’t to let go. There are remains of a hand etched design. People used to value the tools essential to their lives. Even in the western societies, once upon a time, our machineries, cars, mixers, you name it, were designed and created with care and attention to function and please the eye as well. We made a sterling bed for the stone and secured it with prongs that add sparkle. Jewels likes to take things out of context. Tools have real patina and are handmade too. True folk art.
