This product is sold out

Pretty antique rolled gold watch fob locket with carnelian on one side and raised detailing on the other. The locket opens and closes easily. The locket would probably been attached to a gentleman's watch chain so he could keep photos of his loved ones close. I have put the locket on a 1/2 micron 9 carat gold plated on sterling silver chain to create a unique necklace.

Container jewellery to house tokens and special items have been around since Egyptian times and the first  “lockets” held medicinal herbs, religious relics, prayers or perfumes. Elizabeth 1 is thought to have owned one of the first sentimental lockets which was a ring depicting tiny portraits of both herself and her mother Anne Boleyn. Before the invention of photography locks of hair were often put in lockets to remind you of loved ones. The popularity of lockets as a keepsake grew with the widespread use of photography and endures today.

The locket measures 2cm x 2cm and the chain is adjustable measuring 40, 42 and 45cm. 

This unique piece of jewellery may have signs of wear due to its history. It is beautifully imperfect and should be treated with love and care. This gorgeous locket is in great antique condition.
