American Antique Pure Silver Gold Plated Portable Folding Glasses Roniet
SKU: 171824643
Roniets are two-lens folding spectacles worn by upper-class ladies.
It seems that it was also used as a fashion accessory by hanging it from the neck with a chain.
This is a sterling silver roniet with beautiful watermark engraving and gold plating.
There is a problem with the popping out of the lens and the fixing of the opened lens,
It can still be used as folding glasses if assisted by hand.
It can be attached to a pendant, etc.
We hope this lovely Roniette will add some color to your day!
