Georgian gold love pendant
Look what we found! A truly magnificent early Victorian gold love pendant with forget-me-nots and roses in the shape of a book. Inside there is a compartment where still a lock of hair is kept. On the outside of the locket on both sides we see a little bouquet of flowers, rosesand forget-me-nots and when looking close we can even recognize a little butterfly.
