Starburst 18k Locket with Emerald Circa 1870 the Queen went into mourningAn extremely special 18ct Victorian locket of the Archaeolgical revival period, this memorial locket just checks all the boxes. In near mint condition with hand done etching and engraving, the interior memorializes John Dixon; born Jan 16th, 1829, died October 10th, 1896. Sentimental pieces like this remind us of the importance of memory; Johns 67 years are here memorialized, as we recall him on what is the 125th anniversary of his passing. Materials
