A personal keepsake with a piece of teen idol history tucked inside — this fold-out locket opens to four sepia-toned photos of The Monkees, each panel hinging out accordion-style. The textured gold-tone front is set with a red and green rhinestone medallion bordered in faux pearls, while the back is engraved with the name "Susan" in flowing script, a nod to whoever once carried this close.
