Antique Victorian jewel LION rose GF locket

This roaring lion victorian locket has a diamond colored rhinestone in his mouth and sapphire colored stones in his eyes Back in the Victorian period, lions were symbols of courage and strength and was used to impress wrongdoers with the immense power and dignity of the Law. Also associated with royalty,lions are often placed at entranceways as guardians which would make sense since this is the door to the locket. This is rose gold filled and measures a little over 1” long. Inside it has the original paper that reads “The FHS co guaranteed 12 kt gf, absolutely solderless-pat”. The hinge and clasp work well and it is quite a well made piece. Just needs a little polishing and it is ready to wear.
