The Dutch necklace, which I don't have pictures but stories of, was very significant in Oma's family. It is a sapphire necklace laced with gold with multiple dangling gold pieces. It was passed down through multiple generations and used as a "protectant" against bad geesten which means spirits/ghosts. It was meant to attract good ghosts and good spirits. It was eventually brought to the US when they came here. It was also deemed the Poffertjes necklace as the gold dangle bits looked like the pancakes.
