19TH CENTURY FRENCH 18CT GOLD EGG LOCKET

A beautifully chased 18ct gold egg locket.

This French egg locket opens to reveal a glass panel with the original frame, which is perfect to add a picture or to place a keepsake behind.

It’s so nice to have a dated piece.

The engraving is fine and details a floral design with a figure of 8 / infinity line pattern.

The hinge is almost invisible and works perfectly.
