A beautiful antique Victorian with a lovely tactile quality. A chubby little square of warm 18ct yellow gold has been fashioned into a book shaped locket pendant with curved edges, inlaid to one side with dark red cornelian and to the other with an applied gold horseshoe decoration. The locket opens and has a recess to each half to hold a photograph, lock of hair or even a small love-letter! Hinged to one edge and with a chain loop to the top, the locket would make a perfect gift for any special occasion from celebrating a birth to a marriage.
