This enamel locket is a rarity, and as such, was an easy decision for Emily to add it to the collection. Not only is the beautiful subject dressed in classical attire, bedecked in the most enticing suite of rose cut diamond jewelry, but also, she stands before envy-inducing Vermicelli wallpaper. The gold locket, with an engraved foliate frame, is of generous proportion, large enough to house two photographs, and to make a stately impression when worn.
