Mineral and Matter Heirloom Art Deco Locket
Regular price $ 145.00 Save $ -145.00The rise of the Art Deco Era left a stark contrast to past locket and pendant wearers. Gone was flow, roundness and curvature; now sharp angles, squares and the geometrical were the favor. Even the hairstyles of the day were shorter, more rigid in shape. A direct dichotomy and escape to the rise of a woman’s independence and perhaps where the selfie was invented? So no longer were we wearing our painted paramours around our necks, but our very own portraits.
Each locket is one-of-a-kind, and in some cases, over 100 years old. Each has unique wear and tear that adds to the charm and history of the piece.
Locket #1 (1935) is adorned with the US Naval Academy insignia on the front. Measures approximately 0.75 " by 1.25"
Locket #2 (1920 - 1930) is a unique square shape with beveled corners. A simple diamond shape is engraved in the middle and kiss-lock clasp on the bottom. May have been used as a pressed powder compact! Measures approximately 1.5" by 1.5"

Mineral and Matter Heirloom Art Nouveau Locket
Regular price $ 175.00 Save $ -175.00With the introduction of the French era jewelry of Art Nouveau, the feminine, not the sentimental, was now the star of the show: Sweet-faced and natural, with hair in constant flow, it depicted its female subjects most beautiful with long lines and elegant curves; often set in enamel called plique-a-jour. And although there is room for both you and a portrait of your beloved to hide, perhaps instead, a floral solid perfume could reside? A subtle nod in celebration of all things organic, Nouveau and the feminine.

A wearable reminder of the love they clearly had for each other and the beginning of the lock down of lovers.
