Antique Skirt Lifter Necklace Dans Recollections Import wood and seed pod beadsI love learning about the things that I collect and this lovely pair of hands which dates from the Edwardian period, caught my eye. It turns out that this was a practical little item to clip your skirts up out of the mud. I'm not sure how much use you would get out of it these days, so it is now a delightful pendant on a necklace of vintage metal ribbed beads. Rather a lovely talking point. The clip itself is in excellent working order.
