Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 9ct gold locket that was made circa 1840-1860. It opens with two hinged sections to reveal a glazed compartment with a hand coloured early photograph of a lady. This can be removed if wanted. The ouside has been engraved with leaves and flowers.

Ollys Pick

I love the way this locket opens.
