Item Details
The Container: This is a vintage Mother of Pearl (MOP) shell purse or jewelry box, commonly referred to as a "clamshell minaudiere." The sticker indicates it was made in the Philippines, which has a long history of high-quality shell craft.
The Material: It is made from a natural polished shell (likely Pinctada maxima) with a brass or gold-tone metal frame and a hinged closure.
The Necklace: These appear to be freshwater "rice" pearls. They are named for their elongated, grain-like shape. They are genuine pearls but are among the most common and affordable types of cultured freshwater pearls.
Estimated Value: R500 - R800
