A pretty silver oval locket with an open-framed photo back.

The centre of the locket is decorated with a lily that has been embellished with touches of yellow and rose gold.

The Victorians loved to use flowers to symbolise a hidden meaning in their jewellery, a lily represented purity and rebirth.

The organic theme is also continued in the two-toned leaf pattern radiating out from the centre towards a scalloped edge.

The tapered bale is original.

The glass back is original Circa 1890.
