Re your first picture of the 3 watches, the one in the middle I know is from the 1800's as I have one like it that I bought years ago in the Virgin Islands. Check the stem of the winder and see if there is a blue stone, if so it is a sapphire. My watch is made of pot metal -- it still works, I'd like to wear it but need to get the wristband fixed.

Any lockets that have hair in them are either "memento mori" (mourning) for a deceased loved one, or a lover's locket. The brooch with the lady painted on the front is a typical "memento mori" type of brooch, and the painting may have been done if there was no photo available.

All very nice!
