A deep red garnet cabochon glistens like a glass of fine wine at the center of this captivating antique locket. The octagonal locket is textured with straight vertical lines carved tightly together and then slightly spaced, creating a pinstripe-like pattern where the boldest lines shine with a contrasting high polish. The vertical lines complement the long, oval shape of the garnet cabochon while etched floral blooms and scrolling flourishes add a touch of romantic whimsy to the garnet's bezel frame. While the locket is set in yellow gold, the etched frame is a blush gold with a polished finish, accentuating the crimson hues of the garnet. A locket is the perfect piece to hold precious little keepsakes close to your heart, and this one is ideal for photos, a coin, emergency stashes, and more– a treasure for your treasures!
