Ooooooooh! Nice antique pieces of jewelry and definitely appealing to collectors!

I'm guessing that crescent moon is going to have a C-clasp on the back? That is the type of clasp where the pin rests in a C-shaped piece with no locking mechanism. Sometimes the C is more of a tube. Both are old style. (FYI you can put a little piece of tape over it when you wear it to keep from losing your jewelry!)

Are there any markings in the cameo ring? Can you tell if it is carved from shell or molded from celluloid?

Can you open the watch or look at the face to see if there is a maker's name?

Thank you so much for your replies!

Yes it has a C-clasp on the back, thanks for the tip!

The cameo has no markings on it at all.

And as for the watch, there is just a number stamped “STAR 379548” (the watch is still ticking inside!).

Will await your response, thanks so much!

I don't recognize the china pattern, but the watercolor look it has makes me think that it may be vintage rather than antique. We are going to need to know what hallmarks are on the back of the pieces to identify the pattern.

It has underneath “DREAM TOWN, MADE IN ENGLAND BY JOHNSON BROS. A GENUINE HAND ENGRAVING ALL DECORATION UNDER THE GLAZE DETERGENT & ACID RESISTING COLOUR. PAT PEND”
