Deux petits reliquaires, trouvés ensemble, faits pour rester ensemble.
This delicate pair appears to be mid-20th century, likely French or Southern European, crafted in silver-toned metal with hand-set golden jasper cabochons. Each opens gently, revealing a small hollow interior once intended for relics, prayer notes, herbs, or sacred fragments.
The stones are warm and luminous, honeyed with natural variation, and framed by fine beading and twisted metal details that speak to devotional craftsmanship rather than ornament alone. Their scale is intimate, meant for the hand, the pocket, or a personal altar.
These are not objects of display so much as objects of keeping.
Suggested Use
• Hold a written intention or prayer
• Keep a small stone, herb, or earth from a sacred place
• Place on an altar as guardians of vows, memories, or thresholds
• Carry one and leave the other at home, a mirrored devotion
They carry the quiet beauty of things made to be touched often.
À garder près du cœur.
