Souvenir - aka memento, keepsake, or token of remembrance - is an object acquired for the memories the owner associates with it. This locket - which dates to the late 18th century with a late 19th century addition of the pearl bale - is modeled in gold with a pearl border and the word "Souvenir" rendered in enamel and gold over a psychedelic pink foil background. The reverse side is empty but most likely would have originally contained a lock of hair.
