A jewel unlike any other ✨
This rare ball locket is crafted in 18k gold and decorated with geometric taille d’épargne enamel — a style beloved in the mid-19th century for its bold, intricate detailing. The surprise comes when the ball opens to reveal a peridot intaglio, carved with what appears to be a stylized “S.” Peridot is an uncommon choice for intaglios, making this even more extraordinary. Set within a finely detailed gold frame, the intaglio is mounted on a clever hinge, allowing it to be hidden inside the locket or worn outward as the centerpiece. A true Victorian treasure that combines innovation, symbolism, and beauty in one perfect jewel. 💚
