The Story

The locket shows its age in the best possible way with the rich patina making the details pop and gold glow.

At 1.5" tall and 1.2" round, it's a substantial size locket without being overpowering.  It holds two 1" round photos and hangs on a new 18 inch F&B 14k gold chain.  A gorgeous piece to hold your loved ones near.
