I don’t usually go for “sweet” jewellery, but I just adore this Victorian heart and acanthus leaf locket. Acanthus leaves came to symbolise longevity and rebirth. The acanthus leaves encircle a blank heart, which is perfect for engraving.
The interior of the locket has the original frames and later perspex covers.
