This exquisite antique memento mori locket is a timeless piece of sentimental jewelry which captures the essence of a cherished era. It is crafted in 18k gold and centered with an applied cross surrounded by scroll-work. The central design is embedded with natural seed pearls which are in excellent, original condition.
Meticulously crafted, the locket opens to a central, hinged glass which can be used to store a photo or special memento. This style is common to French antique jewelry and difficult to find elsewhere. Weighing in at 10.9 grams and measuring 1.2 x 0.8 inches, this piece exudes elegance and sophistication.
CONDITION NOTES:
The locket is in excellent condition with no notable chips or scratches to the onyx. The interior glass has also been well-maintained with no notable wear. It closes with a satisfying snap. Some of the pearls have aged and lost their pearlescence and shine, but this is a normal sign of age and use.
