Heart on bottom: The heart lid of oxidized trinket box can be used as a pin, the smaller hearts on it are earrings, and came with matching oxidized thin chain and two hearts that fit inside with a bible verse in Spanish. It doesn’t seem rare nor expensive. Every now and then they still come up on EBay. I think I purchased 3 sets, one for me and the others as gifts for my sisters. I think it is an Italian trinket. My partner is Italian but doesn’t remember anyone in her household having one. Collectible during the 80’s?
These little trinkets were available in 1970s-1980s in many gift shops as I recall from travels in US. They were very inexpensive--probably less than $10 because I remember buying several to give friends.
