A very nice two-sided 18K gold and beveled crystal photo locket, the gold rim ornately pierced in a foliate pattern. The rims of these sorts of lockets are usually worked in a simple reeded pattern, but this example is much more complex. The bail is also a screw that allows the frame to be removed to change the locket’s contents. The locket retains its original two photos and a small piece of woven hair. The bail is stamped with French 18K gold marks and an unidentified maker’s mark.
