Lockets are adaptations of ancient amulets, often used to hold precious materials and medicines. The first contemporary lockets in Europe date to the 16th century and were known to hold any number of things. Imagine Marie Antionette sniffing a perfume-soaked piece of fabric hidden in an ornate locket as her carriage zips across Paris. Envision a Victorian lady housing a cherished lock of hair from a loved one in the safety of her prized locket. And think of all the sweet lockets that have held photos of lovebirds and family members since the invention of cameras in early 19th century France. Lockets are truly timeless! 

This Victorian charmer has a smooth expanse of rare 15K gold, a composition type that was discontinued in the 1930's. It would hold its own worn solo or could act as the perfect punctuation to a delicate or chunky layering situation. Decisively stamped with a dignified "G", this stately locket is just begging to hold a new memory.
