About the Item
Circa 1880s, 18k, France. This rotating two-sided seal fob with 18k gold mounts is also a charming pendant, perfect for layered multiples. Featuring fine carvings of Medusa before and after her transformation, the look is Gallic town and country chic at its archeological revival best. Wear it long or short, on its own, or as part of a talismanic group. Sturdily constructed, the piece feels wonderful on and has a generous bale. Very good condition.

Gothic Revival Gold Locket
Located in Litchfield, CT
Circa 1880s, 18k. This mysterious antique locket features an elaborate Gothic hinge, a stunning functional decoration. It is as though a secret or a precious is locked inside. The ideal place for pictures, the interior folds outward to hold five. The visual contrast of the warmer pink gold hinge against the yellow 18k body completes the look. One more secret … the hinge is a hidden Fleur-de-Lis so it is most likely French with the hallmarks lost to time! Excellent condition.
Noted: The chain shown is a separate item.
