Vintage Silver-Tone Sunburst Filigree Round Locket Pendant

An intricately pierced silver-tone panel forms the front of this round locket, its openwork radiating outward in a sunburst of cut-out lines and scrollwork toward a small round center point. The reverse is a brushed, textured silver-tone finish, plain and etched with fine crosshatching. Inside, the locket opens to two compartments — one smooth and mirror-polished, the other finished with a matching pierced filigree insert.
