Victorian Antique Book Locket of 1863 austrlian_opal this was converted from anLockets were a mainstay during the Victorian era. Worn close to the heart, the pendant typically contained a photo, sprig of hair or even a tiny piece of ephemera. The contents were only known to the wearer and to those who were chosen. This particular locket pendant of 10k yellow gold takes on the guise of a small book. Beautifully hand engraved and dated, the front flap opens to reveal a compartment with a removable clear insert with an oval shape.
