This antique French egg locket is a small masterpiece of ornate goldwork and symbolism. Crafted in rich 18k yellow gold, the form is classic and sculptural, elevated by intricate hand-worked detail that immediately reads French in its precision and finesse.
A deep garnet star anchors the design, glowing with a moody, controlled depth that shifts subtly with the light against the curved egg form. Highly detailed gold work frames the star, with every surface showing intention, from the fine gold work to the crisp definition of the setting.
The locket measures approximately 22 × 18 mm and weighs 10.5 grams, offering presence without bulk. It bears the French eagle head assay mark, confirming gold purity and origin. This is a true antique piece, one of a kind, with no modern equivalent.
Romantic, symbolic, and beautifully made, this is French antique jewelry at its best—ornate, intimate, and built to last.
