These were my mom's. I believe she purchased them in Maine in the early 1950's or late 1940's. The necklace has stones missing. I know there were Americian Indian tribes in the Maine area, but don't know if they made them. The bracelet is carved. I treasure them because they were always in mom's jewelry box.

Good to know. I enjoy wearing the bracelet.
