The front features a vibrant autumn landscape, the path dappled with flecks of gold that catch the light like scattered leaves on the ground. The trees, painted in shades of deep red and gold, frame a pathway that seems to draw the viewer in, inviting one to wander through this enchanted scene. The reverse reveals a soft lavender hue in engine-turned enamel, a serene counterpoint to the lively front. It’s not merely a locket; it’s a window into a world of beauty.
Dating to around 1900, this locket measures 38 mm from top to bottom with the bale and 29.4 mm across, weighing 10.53 grams. Inside, it holds an old black-and-white photograph, preserving a fragment of another life. The locket is marked “1000,” which might denote a high-purity silver content, possibly even finer than traditional sterling.
This piece has taken a cherished side trip through my own jewelry box—a testament to how captivating it is. Now, it’s ready to find a new home, carrying with it the allure and mystery that drew me to it in the first place.
