Beige Enamel Locket

Lockets developed out of talisman jewelry worn to ward of evil spirits. They came to signify:  love, honor, a pledge of allegiance, a symbol of mourning, a commitment or a window to the past.
Lockets have been used to carry: powder, miniature portraits, ashes, herbal remedies, poison and perfume-soaked fabric.

1" diameter locket on 20" + extender figaro chain.  14k gold over brass. 

Designed and assembled in our Sonoma California studio.
