/

A tall, architectural pendant that rises like a cathedral spire, with granulated beading, scrolling side wings, and a fleur crest framing an oval locket at its heart. Made in the 1970s, it draws on the Etruscan revival goldwork of the 1800s, with coiled wirework and a silver-tone center bead set on a crosshatched lid. The locket opens to reveal two oval frames for a photograph or keepsake. A dramatic statement piece that hangs beautifully over a simple sweater or dress.
