REDUCED Old Jadeite Oriental Set Of Tinkle Charms

Collectibles : Sewing

 

This is such a neat set. I took them off the frazzled string that was keeping them from getting separated so that you could see them better. They originally probably came from a hem or another part of a dress or clothing. I believe they were used to tinkle and signal someone entering a room or just for adornment. This is an old custom and I feel these are extremely old. There is a comb, leaf, birds, bells, fish and other figures - 13 jadeite charms in all. To give an idea of size , the leaf measures 3/4 inches by little over 3/8 inches. I cleaned them lightly and you may want to give them a better cleaning.
