Victorian 9ct Gold Chunky Double Sided Locket
A beautiful locket of reassuring heft, which reminds me of a ships wheel. This would have had a couple of photographs inside, images to be treasured and held close to the heart. It is currently vacant, but my jeweller (or yours) will be able to open it up again to secure the memento of your choice if you wish. Even without anything inside it’s a very cool pendant, I love the chunky simplicity of it. I like how the two glass pieces are convex, it’s a really lovely jewel.
