Mid Victorian Black Enamel & Gold Concealed Locket Pendant

$1,600

So cute and clever. A teardrop, a hexagon, engraved flowers, a hinged locket. So much going on in one inch. Once it sat atop a stickpin, but we remade it to hang from a chain. A jeweler can help you remove the hair from underneath the glass and add your own, if you wish.
