My husband recently brought this home for me. I'm not sure if it's an old locket or a compact, but I like the etching/engraving on the top. I think it would make a nice vintage looking necklace, so I'm going to clean it up a little bit and try to attach a chain.

ReplyDeleteThe etching on this piece reminds me of the etchings on a pocket watch. It's very pretty and I hope you can attach a chain. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I love the aged coppery look.
ReplyDeleteWow, the patina on your new (old) find is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think this is just beautiful! I love the rusty tones of the locket (?) great picture too! We have lots in common with our love of jewelry and beads and photography!
