Victorian “Mizpah” Locket
An XL locket made of metal with a high-quality gold coating. The finish is rich, matte and buttery - absolutely passes for solid gold. Mizpah was a biblical phrase that became shorthand in the 19th century for, essentially, "I love and miss you when we're apart". It wasn't reserved for lovers; friends shared the sentiment, too.
