vintage Daughters of Rebekah jewelry

I've recently acquired a couple of unique odd fellows jewelry- a couple of which bears the logo for Daughters of Rebekah which is really interesting and new to me so i did a little research on them:

(from Wikipedia)
The Daughters of Rebekah is the female auxiliary or ladies branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Rebekah Branch was established in America in 1851 after much controversy regarding the inclusion of women as Odd Fellow members in the Order. The branch was named after the Rebekah from the bible whose unselfishness at the well represents the virtues of the society.

The general duties of the members of this unit are, “To live peaceably, do good unto all, as we have opportunity and especially to obey the Golden Rule, Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.



these two lovely piece can be found in the shop :) ( descriptions are linked)
