Description


This intricately engraved 15k yellow gold novelty locket was designed to look like a small book.

Its previous owner in Victorian times likely kept an image of a loved one or a piece of their hair in this locket as a tangible, treasured keepsake.

 

Book lockets also symbolized cherished secrets or memories, with a hidden message to someone loved from afar.
