Vintage Edwardian Vinaigrette jeweled Locket

Unavailable
This is such an unusual locket that is also a vinaigrette! Sparkling glass stones on the front along with a cobalt and rose murano center create the front of this vintage beauty. THe back resembles watch cock jewelry with an unusual metal design. The locket opens from the back. The size is 1 3/4" long. The cobalt glass neck chain will go up to 19". It has 3 different types of beads. cobalt round, oblond deeper cobalt and then deep blue murano glass with flecks of color. you could easily add a piece of scent soaked cotton to let this become the vinaigrette or you could put a piece of hair or a photo inside. The gilt on the necklace is not as bright as it was when it was first made but that is to be expected of a piece as old as this. THe hinge and clasp work well on the locket and the necklace closes with a hand wrought fish hook clasp. IT is so very pretty and to think it probably has all kinds of good Karma behind it makes it all the more special. And now for the tedious part that you probably already know: We offer Layaway on all our pieces regardless of which site it comes from.
