An exquisite antique pocket watch style locket with beautifully hand-engraved decoration on both sides. Graceful birds, blooming flowers, scrolling garlands, and a finely textured background create a richly detailed design that reflects the artistry of Victorian jewelry.
Crafted in pinchbeck, a gold-colored alloy prized during the 18th and 19th centuries for its rich golden appearance, this charming locket opens to reveal two original interior frames. One cartouche is engraved with a tiny countryside homestead, while the other has been left blank for a future monogram.
