Description:

A rare and romantic Georgian locket compartment pendant crafted in warm 9ct Gold, crowned with a glowing halo of Garnets. Ten flat-cut Garnets are neatly collet-set in a single oval cluster that frames the central glazed window, creating a delicate, luminous wreath of deep red around the heart of the piece.

At the centre lies an original locket compartment with a clear cover, currently housing a lock of blonde hair for a beautifully sentimental touch. We have left it exactly as found to honour its history, but the hair can easily be removed upon request. Refined details and a graceful oval silhouette make this an exquisite keepsake to cherish and wear.
