Lacy wirework, twisted rope details, and shiny keystone tabs: every concentric layer on this locket is lusciously considered and hand-applied. The locket is double-sided, with details on front and back. The style is inspired by the extraordinary jewelry found in the excavations of Etruscan tombs near Rome. The execution is Victorian goldsmithing at its highest level.
