I'm pretty sure this bottle held holy water she got when she met the Pope at the Vatican. This was a long time ago, before Pope John Paul II, I think the guy before him or even the guy before him. Either way...this bottle is old.
I'm not sure what this material is - raw jade? It looks like jade to me, it's so pretty, whatever it is.
A gold box....
Beautiful detail.
This ring is signature Busia - she wore it for years - turquoise was always her thing. After her husband died, she spent a lot of time with her sister exploring Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico. I think she's the reason there's no more turquoise left out there.

beautiful pictures! How special to have those treasures from your Busia! Busia from Russia? Poland? Staten Island?
