Victorian Scarab Beetle Vinaigrette Necklace
With striped enamel and a fine scrollwork grate, this beetle-shaped vinaigrette was some Victorian's bizarre fantasy piece. As Lindsay just said to me, "find another one: you won't." Add your own essential oil on a piece of cotton or cloth - that would have been the original purpose of the locket.
