A round locket made of nielloed silver, dated between 1910 and 1920, with fine hand-engraving on both sides: one with a concentric geometric design, the other with a central garland surrounded by interlaced motifs. The niello technique creates a striking decorative contrast highly prized in early 20th-century European jewelry.
The interior retains the original frames with blue and green fabric backgrounds, designed to hold two portraits, locks of hair, or sentimental keepsakes. It features a working hinge and a top handle for hanging as a pendant, on a ribbon, or chain.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
Customer service
