Edwardian 9CT Gold Top Screw Locket Pendant

A traditional 19th century pocket watch-style locket pendant in slightly rosy nine-carat gold, glassed on both sides and containing a portrait of a lady, most likely the mother of the original wearer. The top unscrews for you to insert your own pictures or keepsakes behind the glass should you wish.

The blank side of the pendant contains a panel of extremely finely woven thread. Although it's common to find woven hair in Victorian and Edwardian lockets, we believe this to be fine golden silk.
