  • I would imagine that all of these items have special hidden meaning.  I think there are specialty books on these but I rarely buy or see Swiss items so I have never invested in the costume books for my library. I have these published in some European folk jewelry books I own. I first saw one about 15 years ago and wanted it myself for my own collection ,  but missed it.  This  are quite large and long.
