Vintage Gold Tone Cameo Solid Perfume Locket Necklace

Two classical maidens meet beside a flowing urn on this cream-on-terracotta cameo, framed in an antiqued floral setting with a ribbon bow crest. Made in the 1960s–1970s, it was designed as a solid perfume locket, a romantic keepsake that let women carry their scent close at hand. The hinged back opens to the original perfume compartment, while the reverse is cast with blossoms and birds inside a beaded border. Paired with a substantial rope chain, it makes a storied statement piece.
