Enamel Heart Locket Necklace

Lockets developed out of talisman jewelry worn to ward off evil spirits. They came to signify: love, honor, a pledge of allegiance, a symbol of mourning, a commitment or a window to the past. Lockets have been used to carry: powder, miniature portraits, ashes, herbal remedies, poison and perfume-soaked fabric. Available with either a small (1/2") heart locket or a large (5/8") heart locket. 20" figaro chain.  14k gold over brass. Designed and assembled in a Sonoma California studio.
