Description:
An oval locket cut through with an intricate open filigree design, its center set with a single faceted marcasite stone surrounded by leaf and scroll work. The sterling shows a soft, aged patina that settles into every groove of the pattern, giving it real depth and shadow. A small, detailed piece with old-world charm.
