ANtique Art Nouveau Tintype Locket and bracelet with large raised relief Gunmetal silver

INside this antique locket are two old tintypes with a very proper gentleman with his top hat and most likely his wife who is a tad less adorned. He has a bow tie that is very tiny ( almost ribbon like) and a silk band around the top hat. The young woman has a cape with a cape clasp and her hair in a net with ribbon headband. The locket is heavy and all original with beautiful engravings on the back as well well as some hidden under this enormous fabulous raised relief flower on the front. The chain has genuine pearls with silver ribbed beads that form a 26" long chain ( I think it is sterling). THe bracelet is that beautiful gunmetal silver that is in high demand right now. It measures 1 1/4" wide and 7" long on the inside. SLightly oval so it does not slide on your wrist as easily as a round one, this has its original safety chain and is in very good working order. The back of the bracelet is finely etched with victorian flowers. The locket weighs 40 grams and with the chain 55. It is a really well made piece with original celluloid inserts and textured paper backing behind the tintypes. To be able to share this with someone who will cherish the fact that it is a real heirloom would be great..I hope that it gets passed on to many more generations.
