The perfect antique Georgian era enchantment, this miniature lover's locket holds a tiny scrap of iridescent blue butterfly wing which has survived down the centuries and is ready to embark upon a new story. In wonderful condition, crafted in 15ct Gold and set with creamy hued lustrous split wild Pearls which are graduated in size neatly around the glass and it is hinged to the back, opening to hold your precious memento.
Pieces such as this are the stuff of dreams for us and a scarce find nowadays, you'll see similar designs in all the books on jewellery of the Georgian period.
It measures a touch over 2cms in all and the bale will accommodate a good sized chain.
