Antique 18K Rose-Cut Diamond Locket Pendant
SKU
90-1-11117
ABOUT THIS NECKLACE
Although a British Lion hallmark is stamped on the reverse, we're not sure of the origin, or even the purpose (!) of this unique, unusual, and weighty locket-like pendant, masterfully hand fabricated in rich 18K yellow gold and adorned with a rose-cut diamond centered star. The bottom hinged design opens from above to reveal a miniature compact-type compartment, outfitted with a small, removable fold-down seal (you got me?). Despite the mystery, this 1/3/8-inch-long pendant makes a striking statement. Circa late19th century.
