An incredible midcentury locket dating to the 1950s, crafted in rich yellow gold with a substantial rectangular box construction and a gorgeous arrangement of approximately 15 carats of oval and cushion cut emeralds. The emeralds display a wonderful range of vibrant green tones, individually set across the face with intricate textured goldwork between the stones, creating an almost mosaic effect. What makes this piece especially fabulous is the unusual box construction, opening to reveal a smooth, polished gold compartment inside. A fantastic combination of exceptional gemstones, craftsmanship, and a functional design that makes this jewel even more special.
Crafted in 18k yellow gold weighing 24.3 grams. Measures 34 x 27.5 mm. Set with approximately 15 carats total weight of oval and cushion cut emeralds
