Watch charms from the 1897 Sears catalogue. I love the little tool shaped ones so much. I don't think I've ever seen another instance of jewelry made specifically for manual labourers. There's a little plough, and butcher's tools, and a leather knife! And "fancy pearl logs with rope mounting". Fantastic.

“Ah! Poor women, how they are misunderstood! And yet they love God in much larger numbers than men do and during the Passion of our Lord, women had more courage than the apostles since they braved the insults of the soldiers and dared to dry the adorable Face of Jesus. It is undoubtably because of this that He allows misunderstanding to be their lot on earth, since He chose it for Himself. In heaven, He will show that His thoughts are not men’s thoughts, for then the last will be first.”

- Saint Therese of Lisieux, A Story of a Soul, slyly suggesting not only does Christ suffer in solidarity with women but also that women will be elevated over men in heaven.
