A zaftig frame of carnelian, a glossy smaller oval of pearls, and "hardware" studded with yet more teeny pearls. An embarassment of riches decorate this Georgian locket. Remove the hair (it's easy, and you don't need to keep it together with the piece. Ceremonially burn or bury it if you feel emotionally attached but want to let it go.)
