Description

Imposing 19th century photo locket in 18-carat gold with a rectangular shape reminiscent of a grimoire book. Its two sides are framed by a delicate chiseling at the heart of which is a lattice motif. Like the remnants of an almost forgotten past, the lines of these motifs are made of partially erased enamel, witnesses of the passage of time. A piece that is both heavy and imposing but also refined and delicate. To be kept close to your heart and preserve the memory of what is dearest to you.
Rectangle dimensions: 1.5 cm X 1.3 cm
Length with bail: 2.9cm
Weight: 6.11g
