These pendants are of different shapes, I have 9 altogether but the pic shows representative shapes. I feel sure that the one with a pipette type stopper is a perfume bottle to wear around the neck. The others are all on similar length chains (approx 28 inches in total) and all open either with a stopper or hinged lid as shown. They are not silver although they look like it and have no rust so may be aluminium. It is the style that I am unsure of. Has anyone a clue as to the origins or use please ? Many thanks.
