This delightful vintage 1930's gold gilt locket is designed to look like an old fashioned Victorian family bible complete with an engraved belt and buckle clasp on the front. An ostrich skin embossed pattern adds to the charming detailing.
The locket is nice and puffy with plenty of room inside. It opens from the side to reveal 2 deep compartments to house your mementos or photos along with the original framed clear celluloid covers to protect your precious keepsakes. A lovely locket and very unusual!
