Does anyone recall early 1900's jewelry made of celluloid(Maybe another similar material) with pictures of a person on it? I have a ring belonging to my great grandmother with great grandfather on it. Was this some sort of item made at a county fair or some other event? Also, with it a large round pin with his picture on it, but I think that one is metal. Patricia

Patricia, I went to Google and typed in Portrait Jewelry in Celluloid, and a gazillion sites come up. Check it out.
