This is an appealing set of three manicure tools (tweezers, nail file and nail cleaner) attached to a large decorative silver metal finger ring. The handles of each tool are embellished with lovely pale blue/turquoise enamel. This has a maker’s mark but it is not really decipherable. One of the tools states that it is English steel. This piece could have been worn on its own as a finger ring chatelaine, daintily hanging from the fifth finger, or it could have been attached to the swivel of a chain or a chatelaine. The condition is very good for age although there is one area of loss of the enamel (see image). This would be a lovely item to add to a collection of early vanity items or a collection of chatelaines or other fashion accessories.
Maximum length 4.1 ins (10.5cm). Weight 20 grams.
This item appears in my book, “Chatelaines, Utility to Glorious Extravagance” on page 271.
