I found these in a box of vintage beads.... What are these used for?
The bows are solid, light weight, smooth, looking complete - what could they be used for?

They are curved, not flat.
Sort of like a filagree cameo...?
Light weight, brassy tarnish, or maybe it's brass that's been tarnished? Brass would would have more weight to it...?
Could this be what they are Findings for making Jewelry Brooches, like this site has:

Welcome to CW Sherry! :^D I think that is what my #1 Mary(valentino97) was saying! I hope this helps! :^)
My family had Jewelry stores...
I worked the bench, carving lost wax. Not familiar with the term stamping.
It's possible...I emailed the site, hoping they may know more info. It's the best direction I've had!
Thank you for giving me a good lead! Hope to hear back from them soon.
Yes!
These ARE antique stamps.
I've been buried under platinum and precious metals, I never venture to learn any other ways of making jewelry.
Thank you!
Nice Sherry, working together, and with the help that theenchantedgallery.com gave you, you were able to get your answer! :^)
Valentino...
Adding a pic just for you ..
It's the beads that I picked out before my daughters got a chance to go thru them...
I have more of them... somewhere. Lol
I think the circles were called Bakelite bones.
That bag had lots of surprises.
Lots of Bakelite buttons!
There were 2 of these bracelets, one was just to shredded.
Does anyone have a guess what years women wore these kinds of bracelets?
