There is nothing more romantic than wearing a reminder of someone you love close to your heart. For centuries, the locket has been a lady’s (and gent’s!) favorite accessory to do just that.

An incredible, perhaps German sterling and 9ct gold locket with exceptionally fanciful initials that attempt to form a winged, scaled creature, as they spell the initials I/E J/S I believe! Classic to the 1860's aesthetic of heavy gothic lettering, this reads an inscription of:
