A hinged reliquary with latch, set with natural gemstones of Ethiopian opal, garnet bullets, a dendritic agate in the center, and a moonstone below. Solid Sterling silver and fine silver, all hand crafted by me. This vessel is meant to be filled with something sacred, sentimental, or scented; the openings are meant to allow light into the vessel and scent out, in the manner of Victorian vinaigrettes, items of jewelry used to hold a scented sponge or piece of cloth to cover the odors of everyday life before modern sanitation.
