Introducing the antique Ronniet.

The Ronyettes are folding glasses that were worn by ladies of the upper class.
It seems that it was also used as a fashion accessory by hanging it around the neck on a chain.

This sterling silver ronniet is beautifully decorated with a floral motif.
The surface is gold plated (vermeil).
When you press the button on the side, the lens pops out using a spring.
There is a ring at the end of the handle so that you can attach a chain or something similar.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
