Finely Carved Blonde Wood Whimsy Chain with End Hooks - Smaller of Two brooch studied at the Art StudentsThis is the second of two small vintage carved whimsy chains with end hooks I am listing by the same maker, I believe this one with especially tiny (5 8 inch!) links. (How does one do this??!!) The two ends hook together nicely should one want to wear it as a bracelet; this one fits my wrist perfectly and I must say is pretty fun to wear. I don't think it is especially old but quite nicely done and certainly not made yesterday. 8 1 2" long x 7 8" at
