The Story

An exceptional and romantic piece, this vintage necklace is a treasured find.  Made in the form of a classic envelope shape from lush 18 karat yellow gold.  The front hinges open to reveal a removable love letter.  In the interior base of the envelope a little spring helps the letter pop up when opened.  Hand engraved the letter reads "To June, All my love, always Howard".  The exterior of the envelope has a textured finish and the envelope seal ends with a bezel set sapphire cabochon measuring approximately 2.75 mm. 

It hangs on a contemporary 18 inch 14k gold chain with flat links that add sparkle and moves with the wearer.  

This incredibly romantic piece is a love letter for the ages.  Wear it on its own or pair with other favorite necklaces.
