A lovely high Victorian locket with trompe l'oeil woven ribbons in guilloché blue enamel and luminous pearls. The reverse side holds a glass-fronted locket. The locket currently holds plaited hair, but the lens could be removed with the assistance of a good jeweler so you can add your own photo or small memento. On a new 18" 14k gold chain.
