Three delicate, loom-beaded necklaces of glass and silver beads, each essentially a narrow strap that passes around the neck, the ends of which are woven together to form a flat, wide tab in front. (a) white glass beads, strap made of short lengths of eight parallel strands joining solidly woven squares with a woven pastel flower in each, wider panel at bottom where straps join, contains bouquet of same flowers. Bottom trimmed with looped and twisted fringe of white beads. (b) blue metallic beads, as (a) but only five strands between, the inner three being blue and the outer ones silver. Pink and yellow metallic bead flowers in square are more geometric. Strands joined together .5 cm from square with a small bar of silver and blue beads. Bottom square contains four flowers with a yellow X-shape between them. Twisted and looped fringe straight across bottom of blue and silver beads. (c) silver metallic beads, thicker, triple strands between flat squares have chain link appearance in their manner of beading. Square areas have black and silver checked pattern. Two squares stitched together at bottom, rather than woven together. Ends of necklace extend beyond this, as a continuation of the strap, each ending in a checkered square with long, loose, silver beaded fringes at the end. Box also contains three white calling cards, one for "Miss Catharine Robb, and two for Mr Russell Robb, Jr.
