About This Locket:
This beautiful Antique 9K Back & Front Star Locket features pearls on each star point and a gorgeous garnet center. The intricate repousse work adds a touch of elegance and the varying rosy to vibrant yellow color makes it a stunning statement piece.

Non-gold components typically include the inner frames, hinges, and bail. This technique was popular during the Victorian period as it allowed pieces to be both lightweight and durable.
