A 1920s–1930s damascene cigarette case marked K24, with an Egyptian Revival design worked in gold on blackened steel. One side carries a procession of pharaohs, attendants, and jackal-headed Anubis beneath a band of hieroglyphs; the other, a single profile of Nefertiti set alone in a field of black. A dense border of figures and symbols wraps the edges, and the gilt interior is stamped with a hexagonal flower pattern. It is a meeting of two traditions: Kyoto metalwork answering the Egyptian craze that followed the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb.

A dogwood-pink rose and its buds bloom across a powder-blue enameled lid, framed by an engine-turned gold-tone case with a discreet side clasp.

The enamel work carries real hand-painted detail rather than a printed pattern.

A vivid blue heart rhinestone sits at the center of a starburst halo of clear prong-set crystals, small, precise, and brighter than its size suggests. The combination of a colored heart stone with a clear diamond-like surround was a popular format in the 1970s and 1980s, echoing the look of fine sapphire cluster jewelry at a fraction of the cost. A small maker's mark is present on the reverse but partially illegible, worth examining under magnification before listing.

The words Extra Special cut through a small rectangular gold-tone plaque in open block lettering — the kind of direct, self-assured sentiment that mid-century and early post-war novelty jewelry wore without irony. Stick pins of this type were pinned to lapels, hat bands, and scarves, a small declaration worn close to the body. Unsigned, as the vast majority of novelty stick pins were. A tiny, confident object with a lot of personality for its size.
